Together forever

Meet Per and Una. They don’t agree about whose idea it was but they now live together. Both believe their relationship is becoming serious – but for different reasons. And because they have a different opinion about a lot of things, they tell this story from two perspectives.

It begins when Una wants her own room. And Per wants a living room and a bedroom. It’ll sort itself out, they think, and put off making a decision until the hall is so full of furniture they can’t get into their rooms. Not long after they move in together, Per starts coming home late from work. He says he can’t tell his boss to do the work himself. But Una thinks he could. After all, he’s in a relationship with her, not with his boss.
Then Una quits her job and has to work from home. She needs some `office space´ so they rearrange the apartment a third time. Just as they have got used to it, Una is offered a job she can’t turn down, although Per thinks she should. Because it’s in London. And that’s not the biggest problem. What’s much worse is the fact that they are both so damned pigheaded. Or wilful, they think.
Per and Una love each other, very much in fact, but in this book they have the chance to get everything off their chests. And anyone who has ever asked him- or herself what their girlfriend or boyfriend is thinking about, and whether one can even have privacy in a shared apartment, will find plenty of answers in this warm-hearted, candid and witty novel. A wonderfully funny and honest book about a couple who move in together.
