In Pyae Moe Thet War's electrifying and heartfelt new rom-com, a writer's attempt to find inspiration for her new novel is sabotaged by a vacation gone horribly wrong...and feelings for her off limits best friend.
A trip they'll never forget...
Poe Myat Sabei has the publishing career that any writer would kill for: her first novel sold at auction, became an international number one bestseller, and is being turned into a Netflix film. But now on deadline for her second book, Poe is facing a catastrophic case of writer's block. The solution? Book a two-week getaway to an exclusive island resort for her and her best friend Zwe where she'll undoubtedly be inspired to write her next bestseller.
But the vacation of their dreams disintegrates in a flash when the resort is taken over by a group of masked women who are very armed and very angry. As they try to leave the island before the group can track them down, Poe and Zwe suddenly find themselves facing the kinds of conflicts that only come up when, well, you're trapped in a life or death situation on a remote island with your (hot) best friend.
"Jacqui Bardelang's portrayal captures the characters' shifting dynamics, immersing listeners in Khin's internal struggles." -AudioFile on I Did Something Bad
