The Events in Order of Loving Someone

Lily, a receptionist and unpublished writer, leads a life plagued by ennui-that is until she is accepted into an exclusive celebrity dating app. There she finds another non-celebrity, business mogul and London resident Andrew, whom she flies across the globe for. Andrew, an older suitor, takes twenty-three-year-old Lily into his upscale social circles, showing her the absurd and hedonistic culture of affluence, and in doing so, gives her the unwanted appearance of an escort. The relationship forces Lily to face questions about her creativity, her dignity, and most importantly, her infatuation with a man she hardly knows.

The Events in Order of Loving Someone dissects the messy politics of self-harm and social media, the calculated nature of casual sex, and the impossible balancing act of limerence and sanity. Destiny is revealed to be equal parts truth and fiction, and love is found to be only as strong as a woman's willingness to escape.
