In the title story we meet Maya, who is torn between her wryly funny boyfriend and the allure of her veterinarian. Revisiting Maya in several stories, chronicling her various states of love - this is a collection about how we are unfaithful to each other, both wilfully and unwittingly. Populated with unwelcome house guests, disastrous birthday parties, needy but loyal friends and flirtatious older men, the stories are emotionally astute, sexy and disarming.
