Stuck in Love

Three years past his divorce, veteran novelist Bill Borgens can’t stop obsessing over his ex-wife Erica, who ignominiously left him for another man. Meanwhile, his fiercely independent collegiate daughter Samantha is publishing her first novel while recoiling at the very thought of first love with a diehard romantic; and his teen son Rusty is trying to find his voice, both as a fantasy writer and as the unexpected boyfriend of a dream girl with unsettlingly real problems. As each of these situations mounts into a tangled trio of romantic holiday crises, it brings the Borgens to surprising revelations about how endings become beginnings.

“Quietly satisfying. Everyone comes to accept some hard truths about themselves.” (Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger)
