It is rare that reading a book inspires me to poetic whimsy, but my good friend Pepper Basham has accomplished that feat with her delightful rom com Some Like It Scot. You know, I really shouldn't like this book. It's contemporary, and 95% of what I read is historical. It's told in first person, when I prefer third.
