After two years of writing low-stake lists for the web's most famous online magazine "Marigold", Leith Dyer's editor-in-chief thinks it's time for her to write her first actual column for this year's summer editions. The catch? The column has to be a witty, swoon-worthy commentary on today's dating market, with the red string tying everything together being nine first dates. For someone who's never dated before, that's a lot. But Leith seems to have no choice. In the midst of publicity chaos, online opinions, ship-wars and trying to hone her craft, Leith decides that the only way to not completely embarrass herself for all of the internet to see, is to take on a character. But when the success of her column starts to spiral out of control, the lines between the character Leith, the person Leith, and the columnist Leith start to blur. How much of her is real, and how much is fictional? And when it all comes down to it, which of these nine men even know the real her? A contemporary workplace romance about visibility, authorship, and the uncomfortable truth that some stories don't stay within the boundaries you set for them. New chapters every monday!
