Finnish edition, English synopsis

The romantic rebellion intensifies! A sparkling and warmly touching rainbow novel about Melli, who unwittingly gets caught up in the whirlwind of romance.

Melli, who loves dark stories, defends romantic literature in the Club of Quirky Romantics founded by her friend Emma, even though she has decided to stay away from relationship messes. However, emotions do not listen to reason when Melli experiences an ever deeper connection with her secret online friend Vita, who has been her support during difficult times. The final year of high school is also disrupted by the arrival of the quick-witted Bea, who joins the Quirky Romantics and turns Melli's head. To her horror, Melli realizes that disaster is inevitable.

Caramel Catastrophy is the second part of Ulla Onerva's witty entertainment trilogy, the first part of which, The Cotton Candy Dilemma, was received with enthusiasm. The Quirky Romantics insightfully connects the romantic classics of Jane Austen and Charlotte and Emily Brontë to the present day and is perfect for anyone who refuses to hide their love of romantic books!
