Dirty like her blue skirt.

the Attractive title,but the store is disappointing.
عنوان جذاب وقصة مخيبة للآمال ،قصة عن فتاة اسمها سالي تشتري هاتف جديد وعندما تستيقظ يخبرها حبيبها على الهاتف بأن تراه في الساعة السادسة والنصف مساء لكي ترى رئيسه الجديد وعليها أن ترتدي تنورة الزرقاء ولكن سالي لا تريد إرتداء التنورة الزرقاء لأنه قذرة وتذهب لعملها وتخبرعن صديقاتها عن ذلك فتقول لوسي من يحتاج رجلاً ؟ ونبدأ بتقليد الأوامر التي يقولها تذهب إلى الكوفي في وقت الغداء فتلقتي برجل اسمه بول تسقط حقيبته ويأخذ هاتفها وهي تأخذ هاتفه دون يشعران يتصل على بول أندرو حبيب سالي ويخبرها بأن الوقت تغير والمكان كذلك وسالي تتصل عليها أخت بول لتخبره بأن يأتي لحفلة عيد ميلادها ، فيقرر بول أن يلتقي بسالي لكي يأخذ هاتفه وتأخذ هاتفها وتقع في غرامه وهو يقع في غرامها بسبب التنورة التي ترتديها لونها أحمر

I don't like that!

[Karim Mattar]

Just blah blah blah blah blah
But I had to read it as part of preparation 😬

[P Bright]

This is cool little book written for ESL adult students. The author is brilliant to have found niche market and filled it with something so fun!

[Jorge Ulloa González]

Un libro bastante corto, y que me gusta por que es fácil el ingles que se emplea en él.

Principalmente la historia trata de Sally y Paul que, accidentalmente, intercambian sus celulares y tratan de localizarse para devolverlos :D

[Ahmed Hazem (أبوبسطام)]

what I understood from this story " Changing a man is so easy like Changing your mobile" :D

[Adrienna]

This is definitely for a younger audience and the writing was not that good. Narration instead of visualization in the writing (ex: Tanya is listening to the radio. Should read: Tanya listened to a sultry, soothing song playing on the radio.) They are both simple writing for young adults but one you can hear and see her listening to the radio and the other is dry as if someone is telling you instead of showing you. I still have to learn this as a writer, and the help of a good editor.

The story was quite a bore but a decent ending. I did look at the cartoonish pics with the writing which made it seem elementary instead of for teens.

It was a book in the library while I was updating our catalog, some of our book selections in the library, and do not recall ordering this at all. So far this book is not circulating either; but trying to find creative ways to move circulation.

برای پرسیدن از زبان آموزم هلیاجان خوندمش.

راستش داستانش شدیدا احمقانه بود. پاول شماره ی خودشو نمیدونست؟ به اندرو به همین سادگی خیانت کرد؟ حتی باهاش به هم نزد که بعدش با پاول بره پارتی؟ اندرو چرا اینقدر کنترلگر بود؟

تئوری من اینه که نویسنده یه فمینیست بوده که تو دنیای عجیب ذهنش یه ایده ی خلاقانه رو اینطور خراب کرده

[David]

I don't like the final of the story, I think is too open. But I like the middle of the story and how Sally and Paul meet them.

[ياسمين مطر]

Good for people trying to develop their reading skill

[Ana Salazar]

I think it isn't a great history. But if you want to learn English It's a good book to start.

[Amna.Elmansury]

فكرة ذكية لتعليم اللغة الإنجليزية بطريقة أسهل وأسرع من التعليم التقليدي، وقصة ممتعة في ذات الوقت

[Ayman Wetti]

He was expecting Sally to at least tell Andrew to break up and not make him wait for her 😂

[Omnia]

Fantisc ❤️

[Blue]

Maybe younger people would enjoy it. It's a nice story for starters but still, it wasn't good enough.

[Brenda]

Wear red girl!!!
Great for ESL students. Many examples of present simple. Easy to follow

[Mariana Martinez]

Ideal para comenzar a leer en ingles, super facil de leer, pero la historia es aburridisima y la protagonista ni personalidad tiene.

[Hoor Ga]

Not a bad book its good for beginner to start reading . I like the activities at the end

[Santi]

Me la hicieron leer para una prueba!

Muy buena historia corta en la que la personaje principal pierde su celular y termina siendo que lo intercambio sin querer con Paul, un chico que se cruzo en un bar...
