Navigating the online and offline worlds of pairing up, this spiky collection of short stories delves deep, with dark humour, into what it takes to strap on a smile through thirty-something failure and make human connections in the modern age. Gordon knows what Gabby wants but he hates to do what he's told; Chrissy stalks the internet to find what her fianc??? wouldn't give her; three friends reunite during a heatwave and their evening gets better and better, until it doesn't...
