The boxes aren't ticked and she feels adrift in a way she thought she would have beaten by now. She wants to be a writer but can't finish a first draft; she romanticizes her childhood but won't speak to her mother; she has never been in a serious relationship but yearns to be one half of a couple that DIYs together on weekends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEnter: enigmatic writer. Enola falls in love and starts to dream about their perfect future: the wedding, the book deals, the house in Stoke Newington. But the reality is far from perfect. He's distant. But she's a Cool Girl, she doesn't need to hear from him every day. He hangs out with his ex. But she's a Cool Girl, she's not insecure. Is she? He has dark moods. But he's a creative, that's part of his \"process.\" Her best friend begs her to end it, but Enola can't.
