Jada moved to Berlin for a fresh start, not a love story. Freshly single and determined to rebuild her life, she expects loneliness, difficult coworkers and the occasional terrible date. What she does not expect is for reality itself to start behaving like a romantic comedy. Strangers serenade her. Men appear whenever she needs rescuing. Old crushes return at exactly the right moment. Every coincidence, every song and every suspiciously perfect act of care delivers the same message: The universe has chosen Jada for romance. There is only one problem. Jada wants no part of it. The harder she resists, the more romantic, invasive and impossible her world becomes. Now Jada must discover whether Berlin is playing an elaborate joke, whether she is losing her mind, or whether fate itself is forcing her towards a happily ever after. Because if love refuses to take no for an answer, how far will she have to go to escape it? a chapter or two weekly!
