Not in the Mood

By Ariel Henwood

Romy Becker has never been lucky in love. Or timing. Or birthdays, apparently - because nothing says "new year, new me" like getting dumped in a group text on your thirty-second.

Spiraling somewhere between heartbreak and radical acceptance, Romy impulsively launches a podcast with her best friend, Eli Reed. It's called Not in the Mood, a tongue-in-cheek exploration of modern dating, emotional baggage, and why love might just be the worst scam of all time. The premise is simple: they don't need romance - they have each other, and microphones.

But as the show gains traction, so do the complications. Their banter is electric, their chemistry undeniable, and suddenly listeners aren't the only ones wondering what's really going on between Romy and Eli. What started as a joke begins to blur, twist, and unravel in ways Romy never saw coming.

Now, under the spotlight of internet fame and the pressure of pretending not to care, Romy must figure out whether she's protecting her heart - or just pushing away the one person who's always been right there.

Clever, aching, and quietly hopeful, Not in the Mood is a sharply observed slow-burn about friendship, fear, and the strange magic of falling for someone who's been beside you all along.
