Sophie Gravia Collection 2 Books Set (What Happens in Dubai, A Glasgow Kiss)

Product Information

The embracement of this gesture in the United States is bred from the same cultural factors that made it appealing in Glasgow in the first place: the unique approach to humor and playfulness that comes with the Glasgow Kiss. The ability to joke around, to greet a friend or colleague with something as seemingly outrageous as an affectionate headbutt, brings people together in a way that other friendly gestures cannot. The Glasgow Kiss has grown in popularity because it sets itself apart from more traditional friendly greetings, allowing people to show love and affection in their own unique way. I probably would have hated this book if it wasn’t set in glasgow (hence 3 stars instead of 2). Grammatical errors also really put me off - not sure if this is to blame on the publisher or author.

Glasgow Kiss Etiquette: A Guide to Giving and Receiving the Glasgow Kiss in Social Situations I feel bad giving this such a low rating, I did find this book a really easy read and I enjoyed reading a romance set in Glasgow and featuring places I know. From the column ‘On the lighter side’, by Ray Bryant, published in the Reading Evening Post (Reading, Berkshire, England) of Friday 4 th January 1985:As her healthcare job got 'more intense' amid the coronavirus pandemic, the budding author wrote in between gruelling shifts. It is thought that the Glasgow Kiss, like many of Glasgow’s unique cultural forms and expressions, is a product of the city’s vibrant and diverse working-class culture. The exchange of headbutts may have originally been a sign of machismo and a challenge to demonstrate bravery. However, it may also have grown from the city’s strong sense of community and its values of hard work and an open and welcoming attitude to outsiders. The sheer volume of grammatical, spelling and formatting issues put me off this book from the start. It’s very evidently self published and would have benefitted from an editor. Meet Zara Smith: 29, single and muddling her way through life as a trainee nurse in Glasgow. With 30 fast approaching, she's determined to do whatever it takes to find love.

Zara is a student nurse living in Glasgow. I love how we get to follow her around the city and if you have been to Glasgow you will know many of these places. I'll never forget a friend telling me a guy who tried to sniff her underwear when they met up." Read More Related Articles She is definitely looking for quantity over quality of men! When she gets offered an all-expense paid trip to Dubai, she jumps at the chance but what could go wrong, eh?” After a holiday, sharing wonky Tinder date stories among friends, joking that I should blog about them and breaking my hand, resulting in my being off work for weeks, with nothing to do, I started my anonymous blog, ‘Sex in the Glasgow City’. Immediately, people started sharing it - I studied performing arts and always remember the script writing coach telling us, ‘sex sells.’ The Glasgow Kiss has now become a symbol of Scotland and its culture, and is seen as a sign of unity and goodwill between individuals. Its popularity has come to represent the warmth and hospitality of Glaswegians, and it remains a popular gesture among locals and tourists alike.

A group of us are all reading this at the moment as part of our newly formed and made up book club and honestly we couldn’t have chosen a better book to start with… this is serious belly laugh, snort out loud material… we can’t put it down!!! EVERY GIRL NEEDS TO READ THIS!!!’ It was a good read, easy going & light hearted however, I eventually became really frustrated with the grammatical errors. I’m by no means someone who understands perfect grammar however, knowing, ‘where, were, wear’ & ‘they’re, there, their’ should surely be understood when writing a novel. Commas before conjunctives at every turn often had me pi**ed off. (I’ve no doubt made many errors here, ironic.) Readers can meet Sophie and ask her anything they want to know about Zara and her antics in an upcoming Q&A, hosted by Coatbridge-raised book club host, Heather Suttie, on Sunday, August 21, from 1pm-4.30pm at The Corinthian in Glasgow.

Saying she’s going to move to Europe when she lives in Europe etc, constantly skint, running around after men constantly and always using the word fishy to describe her vagina smell is so degrading to herself and women overall. Rarely have I read a book about a more frustrating heroine than this one. Imagine every negative stereotype women have, cumulated into one character. She is insecure about everything concerning her body. The amount of comments about her body from herself and everyone around her were so annoying. She is a size 12 ffs!

Also how did this book even pass through editing? I can see the appeal of an erotic book but I think there are porn movies with more interesting plot and dialogue I use Scottish humour throughout the book and I think Glasgwegians in particular will relate to it. If this is an accurate depiction of Glasgow’s dating life then I truly feel sorry for everyone involved Unfortunately this wasn’t a great book for me. Don’t get me wrong it’s a short, fast and easy book to read but there was also a lot wrong with it.

The story was okay, but I did get a bit fed up of some of the stuff repeating throughout (why does she continually refer to her vagina as fishy?) and why is she obsessed with the “girth of the end of the penis”!
