HOW IT WORKS OUT WER. ANGIELSKA, MYRIAM LACROIX

What if you could rewrite your relationship, again and again, until it worked out?

‘A cause for celebration’

‘Exhilaratingly good’

When Myriam and Allison fall in love at a show in a run-down punk house, their relationship begins to unfold through a series of hypotheticals:

What if they became mothers by finding a baby in an alley?
What if the only cure for Myriam’s depression was Allison’s flesh?
How much darker - or sexier - would their dynamic be if one were a power-hungry CEO, and the other her lowly employee?

From the fantasies of early romance to the slow encroaching of heartbreak, each reality builds to complete a brilliant and painfully funny portrait of love’s many promises and perils.
