Pining & Loving
By Emma Radley
Love can't solve unemployment, depression, or bad hook-ups, but can it maybe help the healing start?
Pining and loving. Which one carries the highest cost? And what price is worth paying?
The quiet, tough Aya Lawson has been forced to leave her career as a professional boxer behind and now scrambles for a purpose.
Gwen Davies is a chatty barista, and artist in her free time, who lives with clinical depression.
They both have battles to fight but they also have something else in common – pining over the woman of their dreams.
When daydreams one day meet reality, things get complicated. Is it best to stay with what’s safe? Or to fall and maybe break? If they do take the chance and break, who will get back up?
