No self-belief, no direction, a job she hates and a love life comparable to that of a dead fish…
Hannah feels like a red-hot mess.
At forty, Hannah lives alone, depends far too much on booze and prescription painkillers, and has her mother breathing down her neck about ‘finding the perfect son-in-law’. Her love for Hollywood happy endings is her only source of comfort in the chaos of reality.
That is until serendipity brings beautiful, mysterious, and seemingly perfect Katie into her life.
A fast friendship forms over drunken escapades, weekends away and shared demons. Despite her new lease on life, Katie’s friendship forces Hannah to confront all that she knows – about herself, her past and her world.
Hollywood happy endings may not be all they seem…
