Love Spiral: A Novel

From the author of See You at the Summit comes a sapphic romance in which a young woman's engagement to her dream girl triggers her OCD and turns wedding planning into the ultimate test of love.

Mal Goetz has always been the golden child—the one who keeps everything perfect, no matter the cost. So when her steady, practical girlfriend Dana proposes, Mal says yes without hesitation.

At her family’s beloved Muskoka cottage, Mal impulsively suggests they get married in just one week, hoping to preserve a cherished family tradition and, more importantly, keep everyone happy. As wedding plans fall into place and Dana finally begins to win over Mal’s hard-to-please parents, everything looks picture-perfect.

But beneath the surface, Mal’s confidence begins to crack. She loves Dana more than she can say, but her attempts to quiet her spiraling thoughts only make them louder, blurring the line between anxiety and truth. The more she tries to be sure about everything, the less certain she feels.

As Mal quietly unravels, she’s forced to confront everything she's ever been afraid of. Will she be brave enough to ask for help? Or will she lose her soulmate to her love spiral?
