Disappoint me

Max is 30, a published poet & grossly overpaid legal counsel for a tech company. She's living her best life! Or is she? The debris of years of dysphoria & failed relationships rattle around in her head. When she tumbles down the stairs at a New Year's Eve party & wakes up in hospital alone, she decides to make some changes. First things first: a stab at good old-fashioned heteronormativity. Enter Vincent, corporate lawyer & hobby baker. His trad friendship group may as well speak a different language to Max, & his Chinese parents never pictured their son dating a trans woman. It's uncertain terrain, but Vincent cares for Max in a way she'd long given up on as a foolish fantasy. Yet Vincent is carrying his own baggage. On his gap year in Thailand a decade prior, he vies for the attention of a gorgeous traveller, Alex, with secrets of her own.
