Good At Being Alive




A party girl and a grumpy British CEO fake a dream European honeymoon for a reality TV show that could save their travel agency—and give them both a new lease on life (and love)—if only they’d take the chance.

Rebecca ‘Bex’ Daniels has lost her family in a tragic train accident, leaving her with her father’s struggling travel agency—co-run in the UK by the reserved Theo Porter. Grieving and mismatched, they’re forced together when Theo reveals the business is failing. Their only hope is a reality TV deal Bex’s father arranged, now reworked into a fake newlywed travel show staring them.

As they film across Europe, their clashing personalities give way to unexpected chemistry. Bex finds Theo kind and steady; Theo is drawn to Bex’s vibrant spirit. But both carry deep grief and emotional scars, and with public scrutiny mounting, they must decide whether their growing connection can survive once the cameras stop rolling.
