Stacey Lee - A szerelem illata

Sometimes love is right in front of your nose.
Sixteen-year-old Mimosa is one of Earth's last two aromakeepers, and she knows what the future holds for her: a lifetime of weeding, mixing perfumes and love elixirs, and bringing people together while she remains irredeemably alone. For him, the rules are clear: if he falls in love, his nose becomes useless, so his talent is taken away. Mimosa doesn't want to spend her life up to her elbows in the dirt, among flowers. She dreams of an average high school life, with friends, games, debate club, and even a boyfriend. But when he accidentally gives an elixir to the wrong woman, he can only count on the love-struck woman's son, the star football player at school, to help resolve the situation. Mim quickly understands that we can't always decide whether we will fall in love. Sophisticated, hopeful, funny and romantic novel at the same time, it is a multi-faceted development story that looks at falling in love and how we find our place in the world from a new perspective.

"Like magical perfumes, this witty, sweet and romantic story will twist your head and enchant your heart."
