The Beauty and the Shittyness of Love

Siri and John have created a parallel universe for themselves. A universe where Siri feels she can be herself in a way she cannot with David.

The Beauty and the Shittyness of Love

Alice, just a month from popping, has decided to throw a baby-shower, and so Lorraine (Alice’s mum), Sue (Mitch’s mum) and Jenny (Richie’s mum) converge on the flat to deluge her with presents and attention. Alice in turn has taken to baking, not-swearing and dressing like a proper woman. Mitch and Richie are horrified.

Mitch and Richie escape for the evening to a local bar, and run into Wendy; a ballsy, feisty, fabulous girl who reminds them very much of a pre-pregnancy Alice. Spending time with Wendy is wonderful, but it’s like cheating on Alice.

Mitch and Richie vow to call off the ‘affair’, but when Princess Lullaby Dreamtime – a nauseating baby shower gift – arrives in the flat, the combination of that, Alice and The Mothers are more than Mitch and Richie can bear. How long can they hold out before they’re drawn back into Wendy’s arms, and how will Alice react when the two women finally meet?
