Overview

Love isn’t neat—it’s messy, chaotic, and sometimes more than a little nauseating.

When Emma, an introverted artist with a fear of vulnerability, chaos, and vomiting, finds herself publicly puking at an art fair, she’s certain her life has hit a new low. Enter Sam, a charming paramedic with a knack for calming chaos, who steps in to help and leaves Emma questioning everything she thought she knew about connection.

What begins as an awkward but undeniable spark grows into something more as Emma and Sam navigate the complexities of love and life. But when miscommunication and insecurities drive them apart, Emma must confront her fears and learn to embrace the messiness of imperfection—both in her art and in her heart.

Love Is Messy is a heartfelt, unconventional romance that explores vulnerability, forgiveness, and the transformative power of showing up for someone—even when it’s not pretty. Packed with humor, raw emotion, upset tummies, and the vivid chaos of love, this first book in the In Sickness and in Health series will leave you laughing, crying, and cheering for Emma and Sam as they find their way back to each other.

Perfect for fans of sapphic romance with a unique twist, Love Is Messy is a bold and beautiful ode to love in all its imperfect, gut-twisting glory.
