The Illusion Of Options

Thirteen people. One year in London. One quiet mechanism, wearing a different disguise in every kitchen, every situationship and every talking stage that never became anything else.

The novel follows a marketing director with sixty-one dating app matches she has never opened, a married architect who has stopped choosing his wife every day, and a therapist who has taught the lesson to her clients for three years without applying it to herself.

It is a novel about the story we have been sold: that the better choice is always one swipe away. It shows what that story costs when it runs to its conclusion, and why the only way out is to name it and choose against it, daily.
