Broken Hearts Still Want to Love

A phone call pulls the 21-year-old protagonist back to a place he'd left behind, and with it comes a string of women he used to know. Their circumstances have changed: some are ignored by their men, some used and cast aside, others just worn down by fighting and looking for something new.

What ties them together, the protagonist included, is a string of failed relationships and a wariness about love that hasn't quite killed the hope for it. The story follows how those old connections reopen, and how a few of these women get what they're after, sometimes without meaning to.

Progress moves forward through their reactions and choices as the past resurfaces around him, with the story told straight through rather than branching into separate paths.
