The Flip Side
Description
Penny wise or pound foolish? A
heartbroken young Brit decides to turn his love life over to the flip of a
coin—in this delightfully British rom-com in the vein of Jenny Colgan, Rosie
Curtis, Nick Hornby, and David Nicholls.
To
coin a phrase, Josh is suffering a quarter-life crisis. He just broke up with
his long-term girlfriend, lost his job, and moved back home with his parents
(shudder). Welcome to rock bottom in Bristol. As Josh starts questioning all
his life choices, he has a mad thought: Maybe he would just be better flipping
a coin. After all, careful planning has landed him homeless, jobless, and
single.
What
starts as a joke soon becomes serious and Josh decides to start putting his
faith in the capriciousness of currency. He doesn’t have anything to lose.
But when the chance of a lifetime and the girl of his
dreams are on the line, will the coin guide him to a rich love life or leave
him flat broke?
