Coming Undone is what would happen if Bridget Jones drank neat whisky, not Chardonnay; and toasted good times over good behaviour.
How many great love stories never get started because everyone's too scared to make the first move? How much are we the sum of all our fears, and why do we run so far from them, that we come full circle to face them or fall?
Coming Undone is a modern love story, searching for romance and true love in a world that's unsure whether it believes in either.
Jacqueline Carlisle is a young adult in the interim South Africa - a perpetual adolescent, if you ask her parents. She’s afraid of being alone, afraid of getting hurt, of feeling anything, and so she's skimming over her life, avoiding thinking or feeling, until she meets the love who challenges her to face her fears and find out who she really is; in a place and at a time when a whole nation is undergoing the same process of stripping away and re-defining its identity. Will Jac stop running long enough to work out she can have what she wants, if she could only dare to admit wanting it?
