FROM THE AUTHOR OF AS YOUNG AS THISSo wryly funny Roxy Dunn writes so smoothly about the limitations and liberations of adult love with such delicacy and honesty CLAIRE DAVERLEY, author of Talking at NightA thoroughly amusing coming of age (in your thirties) novel written with wit, honesty and tenderness CLAIRE POWELL, author of At the TableIndependence seems to be drifting away from Misty. Just months ago, she was living with her fianc and planning their life together. Now shes single, back in her childhood bedroom, on crutches from knee surgery, and relying on her mother to help her with the smallest of tasks. This isnt how thirty-two was meant to look.When Misty turns to dating apps, shes shes immediately intrigued by charismatic, handsome Christopher so intrigued that she doesnt doesnt even notice the acronym ENM on his profile. By the time she discovers that it stands for ethical non-monogamy and that hes in a long-term open relationship she already feels such undeniable, dizzying chemistry that she decides to give things a go.And so Misty makes a pact with herself to date Christopher for the next six weeks while his partner is away. Its all part of her plan: she wants to learn to become less attached, and to prepare herself for her next real relationship.
