This is why I can't have Nice relationships
Mica's great at running - from men, family, and her own mess. But when a one-night flirtation turns into a girlfriend, escape gets a lot more complicated.
Mica is a pro at three things:
avoiding relationships,
avoiding her family's black magic,
and switching countries.
The one thing she can't outrun is her own self-sabotage.
This girl has her life working exactly how she likes it. Her friendships are solid, her perfume collection is good, and her passport is well-used. At thirty-five, Mica's happy in every area that doesn't involve emotional attachment-and she plans to keep it that way. Romance is messy and best avoided.
Then a tipsy night in London ends with a hand-holding incident, a massive hangover, and a brand-new girlfriend named Dot. Girlfriend
When Mica realizes she's gone too far, she does the only sensible thing: she flees to the sun-drenched French Riviera, convinced that a change of scenery will fix her life-and make Dot disappear.
But when Dot follows her to Nice, Mica panics. The last thing she needs is for her Central American family back in Australia to find out and start casting black magic spells. Because while her family may distrust men, that doesn't mean they're open to women. Even she's not open to women. What is she doing?
From the pubs of London to the glitter of the C te d'Azur, and finally back to the beaches of Sydney, Mica is forced to face an uncomfortable truth: the problem isn't men, women, or geography - it's her.
Can Mica untangle her fears, quiet her overthinking, and stop running long enough to let someone get close? Find out in this hilarious, heartwarming comedy about confusion, self-sabotage, and the courage it takes to stop running.
