Synopsis

Of course, eternal love exists: it's the unrequited kind. Olivia knows this well; she gets people divorced for a living. Romantic disaster is her daily bread, so much so that she divides her clients into two categories: the Leavers and the Left. The former are accommodating and usually armed with a brand new love, the latter are aggressive (they've already lost in the marriage, they have no intention of losing in the divorce). Olivia has also been dumped, but since Dario keeps messaging her on WhatsApp, she's sure he'll come back to her, it's almost over. After all, "breaking up is never when you break up: it's something that happens when you can no longer deny that your ex has fallen in love with someone else." And today, to find out that he's suddenly "unavailable," all you have to do is check Facebook—from the comfort of your own home, in your pajamas, shedding tears over your delivery sushi. With a somewhat ruthless wit and a rare talent for a brilliant wit, Ester Viola delivers a hilarious, sharp novel, so corrosive it's therapeutic. Because everyone hits rock bottom sometimes, but it's better if it happens to someone else.
