Meet Shirley Temple, named after the famous beverage for starters in cocktail bars across America. She is one among her lucky sisters to be named by her alcoholic mother, defined and defied by love. No wonder why her mother, a third-time victim of the so-called "six degrees of separation," had a take-away home with each of her husbands.
Afraid of what the future holds for her, Shirley focused on forging a successful career in writing for a company. As she takes on a special assignment by her employer, she loses all the inspiration and drive to finish it all, and so she considers searching for a new one. She might end up like her mother, but hey, her mother took a chance, so why not?
And there she finds out that sometimes in life, the best way to succeed in a relationship is to learn how to fail in love.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.
