English As A Second Language

Megan Crane’s debut sees a hapless US graduate descend on York University for a Master’s in English Literature and a few lessons in life.


‘Totally hilarious and deliciously wicked! This is one book I never wanted to end’ —Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries


‘A breathless, gossipy read that you’ll giggle your way through’ —Carole Matthews, author of The Chocolate Lovers’ Club

Alexandra Brennan is doing just fine in a dead end job working for people she hates in New York, until she bumps into an ex in a bar, and he tells her she’ll never make it to graduate school in the UK. Never one to let a challenge pass her by, Alex applies and when she gets a place at the University of York, she finds herself on a plane to the other side of the Atlantic, wondering what on earth she’s done. Armed with American cigarettes and extra-strength coffee, Alex is ready to face everything Britain has to offer–beer, blokes and more books than she can possibly read in a year. Falling for her lecturer, the divine Sean Douglas, and managing to get a Master’s somewhere along the line, Alex realises that instead of running away from home, she might just have found it.
