Is love between two people a naturally occurring phenomenon? Or is love something that can be developed from nothing, programmed, and debugged? An Unabashedly Mush Novel follows the stories of four love-lost individuals explore that question as they decipher the meaning of love and relationships in the digital age.
Shy and awkward Benjamin, undergrad at a University in Boston, meets international research student Kimberly online. Their series of chess games and chats through the web together has got Benjamin utterly smitten, but his friends think he's a fool for internet dating a girl abroad, and pressure him to go out with the local girls on campus instead. Refusing to give up on a connection so genuine, Benjamin continues dating Kimberly, despite the red flags that begin to emerge.
Lydia is 33, and feels like she is finally ready to settle down. She confides to her best friend, Pauline, that she does not want to find her future husband "through an app" but wants to meet him "naturally", which Pauline finds unrealistic (downright impossible). Taking matters into her own hands, Pauline attempts to arrange a few "organic" meetups to connect Lydia with her soulmate, though a few Cyberlaw infractions are committed along the way, which could get Pauline and her cohorts into heaps of trouble.
Stunningly handsome Darren is 35 and engaged to his incredible fiancée, Evelyn. They are soaring on love's adrenaline as they begin their engagement, and their Social Media posts are the envy of all their friends. However their wedding planning is tormented by their families' constant needs, special requests, and ever expanding guest list ("you can't just invite 1 of 5 cousins!"). Is it just the stress of the wedding getting to them, or is something else cracking the surface of this picture-perfect couple?
Tanya is 40, a hard-working full-time mom of three young daughters, married to a husband who constantly disappoints her and her family. As the unhappy couple files for divorce, they discover a pre-nuptial clause that their younger selves had previously written. Foregoing this requirement would cause them to lose access to the finances they need to restart their separate lives post-divorce, leaving them no choice but to face each other, and the truth of how their fairy-tale love turned into marriage misery.
