Natalie and Jake were nearly a perfect couple. They loved one another dearly. But when Jake breaks up with Natalie, why does she do the things she does?
The Things We Do For Love is a story about a heartbroken, psycho girl named Natalie Parke, who wants nothing except for Jake Miller to love her. But instead of chasing after him like a lovesick puppy on a leash, she takes a different route. A crazy route that involves her getting what she wants. Some would say she was crazy.
All she wants is the love and attention she used to get when they were a couple. But Jake's new girlfriend Jessica Williams isn't too keen on it.
She kidnaps him. She wants him to remember what it was like to love her. But that's difficult to do when the one you want to love you thinks you're a psychopath.
Oh, the things we do for love.
