Dee, Liv and Rosa share a flat in south London, while Katie lives close by with her boyfriend.

They’ll make Katie the handbook that she needs to process her heartbreak and start rebuilding her life.

Rosa is a hopeless romantic, despite still reeling from her ex’s infidelity. Scarred by her ex’s parting words, Dee is committed to being commitment-free.
