Balancing Love, Life, and the Unexpected: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Second Chances

Paula is the picture of adulting: a stable job, good health, and a social life sprinkled with romance, as sometimes when she goes out, kisses people and, sometimes, even hooks up.

She’s a functional and enviable adult, the kind who goes to the supermarket, knows the grocer’s name, and files her income taxes—though she doesn’t fully understand them because she uses a template to do the calculations automatically. But beneath this seemingly perfect exterior lies an emotional
mess—15 years in therapy and still crying her way through rejection and love’s emotional irresponsibility. Maybe she’s not such an enviable adult after all, but she’s functional.

Her life takes an unexpected turn when, on a train, she locks eyes with Claudia, her teenage crush. For the first time, what she thought was unattainable is within reach.
