About the book: year / When, in the twenty-fifth year of his life, Ivan returns home after military and contract service, he concludes for himself that he spent his best years on what the hell : drill, barracks, hot spots... But he never even had a normal girl. And the experience of communicating with women that he acquired in the army... it’s not the same at all. After all, he doesn’t want a random “hook-up,” but a relationship with a good, clean girl, where intercourse is necessarily preceded by the process of courtship and dating. Ivan, with the help of a “setup” organized by his cousin, meets such a girl, but everything is not easy. Being several years younger than Ivan, Alya survived her family tragedy, the death of her father, and, despite her outward “homeliness,” she has character and temper. In order to capture her heart and at the same time “awaken” the woman in her, Ivan has to work hard.
