A relatable, neurotic, anti-romantic comedy for fans of <i>Fleabag</i> and <i>High Fidelity</i>. </b> <i>'The truth is, I had never seen a more delicious collarbone.'</i> The perfect love story is all Sadie Thomas has ever wanted. Her parents' story is what rom-com dreams are made of: love at first sight, a whirlwind romance, a pursuit across the globe, a happy couple becomes a happy trio. But so far, no one has offered the Happily Ever After that Sadie is searching for. Then she met Chase. And fell in love. Sadie is ready for her sail-off-into-the-sunset, credits-roll happy ending. But will Sadie's needling insecurity about her and Chase's relationship, her choices, her life - herself - mess everything up? Signs point to yes. Self-sabotage is one of Sadie's greatest skills. Cue the break-up...
