Hating Valentine's Day

Many singletons will likely find themselves sympathizing with wedding photographer Liv Hetherington - who can't stand cherubic cupids and blind dates. Liv is still recovering from being dumped two years ago by her boyfriend - Mike - who broke up with her on Valentine's Day to go back to his ex-wife. She is thankful when her friends and family decide that this year they won't try to set her up for the big day. Despite her reluctance - she may have found a man all on her own--Drew - a charming friend of her flatmate Justine. But Liv isn't sure she is ready to trust another guy after Mike - so enter the ghost of Liv's deceased coworker - Mrs. Batty-Smith - who tells Liv that she is going to be visited by three spirits - ghosts of Valentine's Day past - present - and future. Anyone familiar with Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol can probably guess where the story is going - but Rushby does offer a funny - charming twist on a well-known tale.
