Sam is 28, Swedish and spending the summer in London, working for a top marketing agency. Over the course of the sticky summer months, she falls hard for Lucas, a man she first met as a teenager. Lucas is working at a boutique clothing store whilst trying to get a foot on the corporate ladder, and struggling to hold the pieces of his life together. Sam is a gorgeous distraction. But you can only avoid reality for so long, and both Sam and Lucas know their relationship can't last. Nobody can be this happy forever, surely?

Sommer in London: Die Schwedin Sam, impulsiv und leicht chaotisch, ist vorübergehend für ein Praktikum bei einer hippen Agentur in die Stadt gekommen. Auf einer Party trifft sie den idealistischen Luc, der nach der Uni noch nicht so recht seinen Platz in der Welt gefunden hat. Die beiden verlieben sich - im vollen Bewusstsein, dass ihre Verbindung aufgrund der Umstände nur von kurzer Dauer sein kann.

Twenty-one, friendless, without money but not without hope, Sickan's arrival at Stockholm University represents a new start. Her lonely childhood in a small southern town has left her utterly unprepared for intimacy: for friends, for sex, for love even. But Sickan is determined to build a new version of herself from the ground up, to make up for lost time. To simply be normal. Just as Sickan seems to be finding her first ever friends, in whose company she finally feels safe, she meets Abbe: beautiful, charming - and by some miracle he wants her too.
