The Mess We Made

Bol

The Mess We Made is an addictive will-they-won't-they debut love story about whether there can ever be a second chance for your first love. Quin and Henry meet as kids and quickly become inseparable... They are high-school sweethearts until one night, one bad decision shatters everything. Years later, Quin's stuck working at a local takeaway. She's not spoken to Henry since he left town nine years ago. She barely talks to her twin brother Josh, and their mum has early-onset Alzheimer's - Quin's dealing with the fact that she might get it too. When Henry suddenly returns - and keeps showing up at work to walk Quin home - she feels herself falling all over again. But his reappearance triggers the secret she's kept buried for the past nine years, and she doesn't know if she can trust Henry not to disappear on her when he learns the truth. If you love the millennial angst of Normal People and the addictive appeal of It Ends With Us and Daisy Jones and the Six, you will be captivated by Quin and the enigmatic Henry.
