Senior Editor: Susanna Romanus
A page-turning chick lit about three young women and
the crucial events that will change their lives.
Welcome to the Other Side
“Malin threw an extra cardigan in the bag and
put on the leather jacket and the black boots. If
she were to go out partying tonight, she would
have to change shoes. Boots would be far too
boring, but she had a black pair of ‘emergency
pumps’ in the locker at work, those would make
do.
She fixed her hair quickly one last time in
front of the hall mirror, and then she took her
keys and put the iPhone and lipgloss in the bag.
April 14, what a bloody shit date.”
This story takes place in two big cities,
Stockholm and Gothenburg. Malin, Lovisa
and Sandra are all soon in their thirties, and
they are all going through their own personal
little hells.
Malin is single and works at a restaurant. It
is not always easy, but the co-workers are
great. One night, after an enjoyable evening
out with one of her colleagues, something
happens to her that only ever happens to
others, when someone she thought was a
friend shows his real face.
Lovisa is living a dream life. She has the perfect
job, the most beautiful apartment and
the greatest boyfriend in the world, Viktor.
They are “Viktor-and-Lovisa”, and it is as it
should be. But then one day everything falls
to pieces, a friend has seen Viktor holding
another girl, and their perfect happiness is
no more.
Sandra feels stuck, in more than one way,
in life and in her stagnant relationship with
Fredrik. Then someone notices the work she
does at the office and she is offered a promotion,
and Sandra realises that there might be
more for her to grasp out there, if only she
dares to make the move.
