Broken English

“So Many Mr. Wrongs. So Few Mr. Rights.”

Synopsis

“So Many Mr. Wrongs. So Few Mr. Rights.”

Nora Wilder is freaking out. Everyone around her is either in a relationship, married, or has children. Nora is in her thirties, alone with job she's outgrown and a mother who constantly reminds her of it all. Not to mention her best friend Audrey's "perfect marriage". But after a series of disastrous dates, Nora unexpectedly meets Julien, a quirky Frenchman who opens her eyes to a lot more than love.
