From acclaimed stand-up comic Katherine Ryan comes a short, funny, and unpredictable true story about love, perseverance, and that one boy she was sure she’d left behind. Katherine Ryan’s on-again, off-again high school romance with a genuinely decent boy named Bobby ended in lots of adolescent melodrama and angsty wallowing, fueled by Cool Ranch Doritos. Years later, Katherine is a successful comic in the UK, embracing single motherhood with her precocious daughter, Violet, and is happily resigned to a future without romance. She tells her audience as much. Until her job sends Katherine on a quick trip to her Canadian hometown. After a surprising reconnection with Bobby, Katherine realizes that everything she thought she’d moved on from might not be that far gone at all.
