After years of procrastinating, the gay widower Peter Valentine wants to write a new and experimental novel on Wattpad about the meaning of life, the search for love in the 21st century, and what it means to be human searching for the 'better normal' after the Covid pandemic of 2020. Now old, but not giving up on childlike delight for surprises, he meets people online, and falls in love in the grand manner of romantic movies. He breaks his heart a few times, but he never gives up, being wiser from all his years of passionate living. Along the way, he inspires a new generation of lovers, and readers, to be the best version of themselves.
