Frankie Doyle's life fell apart in exactly one week: fired from her NYC PR job after a furious voicemail rant went straight to the client she was ranting about, dumped by a fiance who'd already drafted a press strategy for leaving her, and out of an apartment by Friday. She retreats to Lark Lake, Michigan for the summer to help save her family's struggling general store - only for her ex-fiance to fly in for a very public, very strategic win-her-back campaign in front of the entire town.
Panicking, Frankie blurts that she's already seeing someone.
That someone is Cole Bennett - who runs the marina, who she dated from sixteen to twenty-four, and who, for reasons of his own, decides on the spot to play along.
What starts as a favor between exes turns into fake-dating, a town-wide conspiracy of matchmaking grandmothers, one increasingly complicated general store rescue mission, and the growing, alarming realization that neither one of them is pretending anymore.
Emotional Support Ex is a laugh-out-loud small town romantic comedy about fake-dating your actual ex, the difference between giving someone space and giving up on them, and finding out the hard way that home was never the problem. Standalone, closed-door, guaranteed happy ending.
