At what point does wanting someone become an obsession?
Alice’s routine has settled into a dull cycle of work, home, and endless scrolling on her phone, far from the life she imagined when she moved from her hometown.
So when a handsome colleague shows her the smallest hint of interest, he quickly becomes the centre of her universe. Nothing else matters except the hope that he feels the same way, and she will do anything to make that happen – even if it means losing herself along the way.
Pick Me is a raw and relatable novel about romantic obsession, emotional dependency, and the longing to be chosen. Through Alice’s inner world, the story explores anxious attachment, low self esteem, and the addictive pull of unreciprocated love. It captures the confusion of mistaking obsession for connection and the gradual erosion that happens when self worth becomes tied to another person’s approval.
Told with honesty, humour, and emotional depth, this contemporary fiction novel shines a light on modern dating, workplace crushes, and the psychological impact of craving validation. It is a story about infatuation, identity loss, and the difficult but necessary journey back to yourself.
