Her future is set, she’s made sure of it. And now, after four years of dating, Marianto is certain that Alejandro will ask her to marry him.

Things don't go as planned when a perceived proposal ends in a break up and then everything falls apart. Within hours, Marianto loses not just her boyfriend but her job too.

Heartbroken yet ever determined, she sets out to win both of them back. From strategic Instagram posts to \"accidental\" run ins, Marianto documents each move to earn Alejandro’s affection in a bid to write the article of a lifetime: How to get your ex back. If she can pull this off, she may just get her life back on track.

Enter Colombian heartthrob Simón Arreaza who discovers Marianto's list of romantic experiments and decides to step in. Immediately, Marianto begins to see results. Turns out the relationship coach needs some coaching herself.

As the lines of their alliance blur, Marianto and Simón find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other and caught in a whirlwind of unexpected romance.

How can she win back her ex when she's falling for someone else? And what happens if Alejandro wants her back?

Will she be brave enough to pick Simón over the man of her dreams?
