In this sharply funny solo debut, an aspiring lawyer is forced to work alongside the opposing counsel in her best friends divorce case, which leads to the biggest irreconcilable difference of all: love.

Beatrice Nilsson has a lot to be angry about. The wage gap, the pink tax, the repayment schedule on all those student loansthe list goes on. But that anger is also what makes her such a good friendthe perennial sidekick who fights for her loved ones happily ever after, even while conveniently neglecting her own. So when the marriage of her two best friends falls apartand the divorce proceedings get uglyBea is ready to step in and help pick up the pieces.

First on her to-do list? Storm the office of Nathan Asher, her friends ex-husbands lawyer, and tell him exactly what he can do with his divorce petition. But what should end with a few choice words and a slam of the door soon spirals into uncharted territory when Nathan shows up at her NYU Law office a few days later. As a newly-minted adjunct professorand her new colleaguehe proves to be annoyingly intelligent, relentlessly patient, and unfairly attractive. Bea still hates him, of course, but its not long before that hate begins to feel a lot like something else.

Theres just one issue: when youve spent your life focusing on everyone elses love story, its not easy to take the starring role in your own. And as uncomfortable truths emerge about the divorce that started it all, Bea must choose whose happily ever after to protect: everyone elses or her own.
