Lavender Sullivan is a relationship columnist with one tiny problem-she's romantically cursed (metaphorically). After a viral article turns her love life into a public disaster, her childhood best friend, Wes, comes up with a brilliant (read: completely insane) idea.

Ten dates. Ten exes. One last shot at proving she's not a walking red flag.

What could possibly go wrong? (Spoiler: Everything).

Between awkward reunions, social media chaos, and a growing tension with the one person she swore she'd never fall for, Lavender's about to learn that love is less like a fairytale... and more like a very public, slow-motion car crash.
