At twenty-seven, Marianto has it all - her dream man, a coveted job at a popular digital magazine and a bright future. Until one viral disaster ruins everything.
Within hours, Marianto loses her boyfriend and her job. Her solution? Write the article of a lifetime on how to win back your ex.
Enter Simón Arreaza - the sexy lead singer of her favourite indie band. After he discovers her list of experiments, he offers some advice, replacing each idea with one of his own. Marianto quickly sees results and so they strike a deal: if he coaches her on winning back her ex's heart, she will help raise his band's profile.
But between the fake photo ops and late nights together, the lines of their alliance blur. Marianto begins to question what - and who - she really wants. Because Simón was never part of the plan . . . sometimes, the best things in life aren't.
One wildcard can change everything.
