Beautiful Rosie Kiely presumes that one day she will fall in love, marry and live happily ever after. Until she does, she enjoys a stream of handsome boyfriends whom she treats carelessly but, when her careless treatment of latest boyfriend, Mark, leads to tragedy, she begins to ask herself some questions.
Is she – Rosie – even capable of falling in love? Does true love really exist? Or is love just a myth we all buy into?
In a bid to find out, Rosie begins nosing into the romantic affairs of those closest to her: her parents who’s marriage has survived through thick and thin; her work colleague Fay and the man who hurt her so badly all those years ago; her childhood friend Shane and his girlfriend Laura who’s bond is unfathomable to Rosie; her friends Caroline and Shane – imminently unsuitable but who’re increasingly drawn to one another; and her friend Dana who falls for the monosyllabic Doug.
Violence, infidelity, lust, but friendship and loyalty too – Rosie finds is a whole lot more than she expected for love – like life – can be a messy business with a habit of making fools of us all as Rosie – self-appointed love detective – discovers.
And when Rosie does find her own true love, does she realise her good fortune? And is she now ready to grab it with both hands?
