Quando, logo após a formatura, Ava deixa a Irlanda e se muda para Hong Kong por um ano, ela não tem um plano preciso nem sabe o que esperar. Ela logo se vê presa em uma situação que não é exatamente o que imaginava: um emprego mal remunerado que quase sempre ela detesta (ensinar inglês em uma escola para crianças ricas) e um aluguel absurdo por um quarto em um modesto apartamento compartilhado com estranhos. Enquanto isso começa a sair com Julian, um jovem banqueiro inglês um pouco mais ve...

Luke e Celine sono promessi sposi. Entrambi tra i venta e i trenta anni, entrambi impegnati in lavori che li appassionano (Celine è una pianista di talento che si divide tra le esibizioni e l'insegnamento, Luke è un giovane manager rampante della finanza), entrambi queer e cinicamente disillusi su quello che è il mondo intorno a loro, sembrano a chiunque li conosca il prototipo della coppia felice. E mentre il tempo del loro matrimonio si avvicina, c'è un primo passo fondamentale da com...

Quando Ava a ventidue anni lascia l'Irlanda subito dopo la laurea per trasferirsi un anno a Hong Kong non ha un piano preciso né sa bene cosa aspettarsi, ma presto si trova intrappolata in una situazione che non è certo quanto aveva sperato: un lavoro malpagato che odia (insegnare l'inglese in una scuola per bambini ricchi) e un affitto spropositato cui fare fronte ogni mese per una camera in un modesto appartamento condiviso con estranei. Intanto inizia a frequentare Julian, un giovane ba...

Celine en Luke, net verloofd, zouden nog lang en gelukkig moeten leven. Maar Celine hecht meer waarde aan haar piano dan aan het traditionele plaatje van huisje, boompje, beestje, en Luke heeft de neiging om vreemd te gaan. Celine's zusje Phoebe zou eigenlijk een serieuze baan moeten zoeken, maar werkt liever in een café. Archie, de ex-geliefde van Luke, zou zijn carrière moeten najagen en Luke uit zijn gedachten moeten zetten, maar hij blijft stilstaan. Vivian, Lukes beste vriendin en and...
