Why You Shouldn't Date In Bristol

Why You Shouldn't Date In Bristol

2026 · 17 min · English

Three perfect dates convince Jay he’s found the one. UNTIL a ketamine fuelled baby shower sends him into Paige’s unpredictable world of eccentric friends and emotional chaos. As one surreal night pushes them to breaking point, fantasy gives way to reality. The next morning, Jay and Paige choose to part as equals, discovering that love’s value’s lies not in perfection but in the truths it reveals about ourselves.
