Don't Fall in Love (and how to break the rules) (The Second Chance Chronicles) by Sally Brooks

When Chrissie walks into her classroom on the first day of term, the last person she expects to bump into is new teacher Nisha, an old flame from the sun-soaked summer of her A levels. Following her recent escape from a cult and a bad break-up, Chrissie has set herself three rules for her new life. Rule one: don’t fall in love. So what should she do when her eyes meet Nisha’s one too many times across the glue sticks? Rule two: give back to her Kings Heath community in Birmingham, especially the children in her class. Rule three: question everything, especially her growing passion for Nisha when they take their pupils on a residential trip to France. Will Chrissie overcome her demons and find love? Can she rebuild her life after her traumatic experience? And will Nisha love her back when someone from her past makes her an offer she can’t refuse? Don’t miss this dramatic, humorous, feel-good story of love and redemption from the award-winning author of Swiping Right (and other disasters).
