A Glasgow Kiss: the hilarious, laugh-out-loud bestselling romcom about modern dating that everyone's talking about!

Product Information

We watch her plunge head over heels in love with an older man, as we belly laugh at the antics she performs, using every trick and tip from her friends to make sure his love is reciprocated. A Glasgow Kiss follows the life of single Zara and her experiences in the weird and wonderful world of online dating.

The gesture originated in the early to mid twentieth century in the city of Glasgow and was used among local gangs as a sign of solidarity and kinship. It is a way for two people to express their bond and love for one another in a meaningful and unique way. However, it is a strike allowed in Burmese boxing, capoeira, muay boran, combat sambo, some full-contact karate rulesets/variants - namely Kūdō - and in the self-defence art of krav maga. This was a kindle deal and since I'm in a bit of a romance mood at the moment, I thought I'd pick this up.

The exchange of headbutts may have originally been a sign of machismo and a challenge to demonstrate bravery.

However, it may also have grown from the city’s strong sense of community and its values of hard work and an open and welcoming attitude to outsiders. The ability to joke around, to greet a friend or colleague with something as seemingly outrageous as an affectionate headbutt, brings people together in a way that other friendly gestures cannot. Being single is tough enough with the pressures of social media and dating apps, even more so during a pandemic. There is a lot of humour in this series, as well as some serious issues which are dealt with sensitively. Everyone went crazy about it on Twitter, and people started sharing their own context with the meme.The Glasgow Kiss, popularly known as a headbutt, is a cultural gesture of affection originating in Glasgow, Scotland. However, if you are looking for an easy, quick read (yes I read it in a day) which tells the hilarious tales that comes with dating, excessive use of swearing and complete “no way” cringe and LMAO moments then pick up this book. Within Glasgow itself the term 'Gorbals kiss' is often used, referring to the most dangerous area of Glasgow.
