After The Fall

For recent college graduate Alice Wheeler, falling in love is not something that just happens. It's a choice, and she has decided that she can do perfectly fine without it.

But then she loses her scrunchie. And Ezra Grant walks into her life. And, then, a one-night stand translates into a relationship, a proposal, picket fences, and children.

She's a promising young artist, he's the vice-president of Grant Publishing House. She likes to party, he doesn't drink and the sizzling lights give him headaches. Alice is obsessed with stars, Ezra prefers to focus his attention into earthy matters.

She's blue, he's yellow. He's an open book, she leaves a question mark everywhere she goes.

But even so, she falls for him -and him for her. The thing is, falling in love is the easiest part, anyone can do it, but what comes after the fall...that's an entirely different story.

When layers of secrets, past and future, start to unravel, it's really only a matter of time to see if Alice and Ezra can emerge unscathed.

A retelling of opposites attract with a modern twist.
