  When moving on means moving out… 
  Surely there should be a rule book to guide you through the tumultuous twenties, or a ‘to do list’ at the very least?  
  Fresh out of university in Manchester and struggling to climb the career ladder in London, Flick’s devastated when her boyfriend dumps her with no warning and leaves her looking for a new place to live. 
  Being forced into a houseshare with three complete strangers isn’t exactly how Flick saw things going. But the residents of Carlisle Avenue are quickly on hand to help her navigate the ups and downs of the life she’s currently winging. 
  With their help, along with her big sister, Flick manages to focus her energy on ticking off items that she’s added to her ‘twenties list’ – the perfect bucket list for any twenty-something reclaiming their life post-break up. 
  And all is going well, that is until her boss catches wind of it and asks her to create a new magazine column documenting her progress. Enter Teddy, a sweet guy who becomes Flick’s friend after a tennis meet-cute. As the column finds its feet Flick’s in way over her head, somehow managing to fake-date Teddy to please her boss and her readers. 
  But the further Flick gets into twenties life, the more she realizes: maybe she’s not the only one following the ‘fake it ‘til you make it’ mantra. 
  In this top-rated romantic comedy, Flick's journey through the ups and downs of city life is filled with humorous encounters and unexpected friendships. The contemporary setting and the blossoming romance with Teddy add a delightful twist to her story. 
  For fans of Annabel Monaghan (Same Time Next Summer), Jessa Hastings (The Conditions of Will), Sarah Adams (Beg, Borrow, or Steal), Cara Bastone (Promise Me Sunshine), and Katherine Center (The Love Haters).

  My Betty-- Earning Her Promotion...

  Drew and Betty Stevens have such a great life. He's a river cruise boat captain who spends his weeks on the Seine River surrounded by gorgeous French countryside. She’s a tour guide working on the same boat!
   
  Ah, life is good. And it's about to get better. One morning, Drew and Betty are approached by a human resources director for the cruise line, who informs them that Betty is being promoted to cruise director!
   
  There's just one slight problem: Before this promotion can move forward, the HR director, Jerome Ferguson, needs to be convinced that Betty will be ready, willing, and able to take any and all orders from her husband, who will now be her boss.
   
  Betty assures Ferguson that she is up for the task. But he wants proof. He wants a "demonstration." And this demonstration will consist of Drew issuing her a string of commands that are sufficiently "difficult" for Betty to carry out.
   
  And to Jerome Ferguson, "difficult" means really dirty!
   
  Well, now, Drew can't resist! You see, as much as he adores his beautiful and wonderful wife, he’s been frustrated for years by Betty's lack of "open-mindedness" in the bedroom. Betty is conservative to the max. And this has been hard on poor Drew, who would like nothing more than to add some zesty spice to their sex-life.
   
  Well, Drew gets a little carried away with his newfound power. And his demands go beyond "dirty!"
   
  But that's not all. Not only is this demonstration arousing him to no end. Even better, it is giving him a sweet taste of what it's like to have a wife who is totally submissive to him--totally under his control--totally dominated by him--and humiliated out of her mind!
   
  Bottom line: Betty is now entirely under Drew’s control--at work and after hours--and now that Drew has assumed that new role, he's never going back!
