Overview
Dawn and Rob were never meant to be together.
It's the summer of 1990 and seventeen-year-old Dawn is infatuated with Billy. He's cool, in a band and the opposite of her other besotted admirer: gentle electrician Rob.
But then Billy disappears, and Rob is still around. He's there when Dawn falls pregnant and he's there for the sleepless nights. And though Dawn and Rob were never destined to be together, suddenly they're married.
This real-life relationship involves arguing about who loads the dishwasher, cosy nights in while not having sex (and not missing it) and dragging kids to violin classes (even though they're terrible).
Decades have flown by since Dawn last saw Billy, and her once glossy blonde hair is now silvery grey, yet she can still remember exactly how he made her feel. But is now-famous Billy worthy of her thirty-year obsession? And how dangerous would it be for her marriage if she decided to find out?
