|summary=''One time, a boy kissed me and I almost died...My lips started tingling. My tongue swelled to fill my mouth. My throat closed; I couldn't breathe. Everything went black.''
So begins the tale of an unlikely romantic heroine: a girl who is allergic to other human beings. After the extreme humiliation suffered in the aftermath of the events above, Jubilee Jenkins becomes a recluse and hides herself away from the world for nine years. When her source of income suddenly dries up, Jubilee needs to overcome her fears, step out into the world and find a job. Working at the local library, she meets divorced dad Eric and his quirky adopted son, Aja and strikes up a friendship with them. As their mutual attraction starts to grow, can there be any future for a relationship where even a simple kiss could be fatal?

|title=Brexit: Why Britain Voted to Leave the European Union
|rating=4
|genre=Politics and Society
|summary=Ten, nearly eleven months on from the June 2016 referendum I'm still struggling to come to terms with the thought that the United Kingdom voted by a narrow but decisive majority to leave the European Union. Since then I've been searching for enlightenment in the form of hard facts rather than opinions: given a handful of people you'll get at least half a dozen 'valid' reasons. Personally, I blame Boris Johnson. ''Brexit: Why Britain Voted to Leave the European Union'' isn't a book of ''opinions'' about why the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union but a close look at what the statistics tell us. It's a dry but informative read.

|summary= According to popular wisdom, Henry VIII had six wives and only two mistresses. The former statement is correct, but the latter only tells part of the story. Even while he was married to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, there were many more ladies in his life.
