Fresh from breaking up with her boyfriend and determined to avoid the conventional, TikTok-ready married life she never wanted, Clem is ready to explore the alternatives. It’s not that she wants to be single forever, much less die alone. But at 36, it’s time for her to experience new things - in areas including her love life. And though faking a relationship to appease family sounds like a recipe for disaster, Clem finds herself saying yes to smart, spirited dog groomer Chloe Lee anyway.
Chloe is long past her own baby-gay period, but even before they’ve tackled Clem’s parents’ anniversary party and Chloe’s friend’s wedding, the two find themselves spending hours together. As they draw closer, Clem begins to realize that she’s attracted to Chloe. But Chloe is fine staying just friends - and she’s convinced Clem is simply looking for someone to take her off the singles list. How can Clem change Chloe’s mind? And should she? After all, Clem is starting to realize that her life is wonderfully full, and being alone doesn’t scare her a bit. Still, living without the tiny powerhouse that is Chloe is a whole other story.
Wise, witty, and full of heart, On Her Terms is an uplifting love story with an ending worth waiting for.
