Pretend You Love Me

When Elsie discovers a message on her husband's phone just months after giving birth, her carefully built life fractures in an instant. In the sleepless haze of postpartum motherhood, betrayal cuts deeper than she ever imagined. Suddenly she's questioning everything: her marriage, her identity, and the version of herself she lost somewhere between diapers, exhaustion, and trying to hold it all together. But heartbreak has a strange way of forcing people to rebuild. Surrounded by small-town chaos, coffee-fuelled friendships, and women who understand what it means to survive the unthinkable, Elsie begins to piece herself back together one messy step at a time. Because sometimes the end of a love story is really the beginning of finding yourself again.
