Introduction

Céline Dion confidently predicted that her heart would go on, even if, from a medical perspective, the romance between Kate and Leo was dead in the freezing North Atlantic waters. The sea of love can be a lot like that: full of unexpected icebergs in the shape of disapproving parents, interfering friends, unwarranted advances from co-workers and unexplainably odd matches on dating apps.

There’s no denying that it’s choppy out there, and if you’re looking for love (or just someone to while away the long, dark, lonely evenings with until something better turns up), you’re going to have deal with some bad stuff: unrequited crushes, rubbish boyfriends and the kind of outings that may leave permanent scars — actual scars, like a bad tattoo with both your names entwined in a gothic heart, or mental scars, like choosing ‘Blurred Lines’ as ‘your song’ before you’d actually worked out what the lyrics meant.
