An Australian expat in Berlin, Kim is jobless, rootless, and – as she’s slowly discovering – somewhat useless. That is until a chance encounter with Matthew, a hotshot New York literary agent, gives Kim the direction she’s been craving.

This year she will:

• Finally write her novel
• Decide what said novel is actually about
• Romantically pin down the increasingly flighty Matthew
• Be less jealous of sharing attention with best friend Bel’s baby
• Convince her therapist that the amount of artichokes she eats doesn’t classify as an eating disorder
• Stay sane in the process of achieving the above

Can sad girls ever have happy endings?
