While everyone around her seems to have slipped effortlessly into adulthood Hera has spent the years since school caught between feeling that she is purposefully rejecting traditional markers of success to forge a life of her own and wondering if she's actually just being left behind. Then she meets Arthur an older married colleague. Intoxicated by the promise of ordinary happiness he represents Hera falls headlong into a workplace romance that everyone including her knows is doomed to fail. Green Dotis witty profound and painfully relatable in its exploration of solitude desire and the allure of chasing something that promises nothing.
