Spiacente, non sei il mio tipo

A love story that belongs in this collection because of its cover: a pink Fiat 500 with a heart-shaped box on the roof. Anna Zarlenga, born in Naples in 1979, studied literature and works as a teacher; this was her first book and became her most successful – about a dozen more have appeared since from the same publisher. It tells of Sara, who does research at the university, and of Teo, heir to a television production company: the two cannot stand each other at a wedding and face each other again months later in a lecture hall, she as the teacher, he as the student. The volume appeared in March 2019 from Newton Compton in the Anagramma series; in 2020 a bound pocket edition followed in the Gli insuperabili Gold series (ISBN 978-88-227-4016-8). The red band on the copy shown here recommends the book to those who liked Anna Premoli's «Ti prego lasciati odiare».
