Natalie has high hopes for her move across the country to start a new life with her boyfriend. Those plans hit a snag the moment her flight lands and she finds out he is married. Now devastated and wishing she owned more elastic-waist pants, Natalie does her best to get off her great-aunt's couch and put the pieces of her life back together. But the world is hard, and the couch is soft.
During one of her meltdowns, she is reminded that she volunteered to host her family's BIG Thanksgiving get together. That's the last thing she wants to do right now, but she would rather give up coffee forever than let her sister-in-law host instead of her. All she has to do is swallow her feelings and schedule her mental breakdown for the weekend after Thanksgiving. It's a completely logical flawless plan. What could go wrong?
A picture-perfect Thanksgiving should be possible with careful planning and the help of an annoying family friend who is unfortunately kind of hot. She's determined to show everyone that she has everything under control even when nothing seems to go to plan.
Pumpkin Spice Meltdown is a cozy low stakes romcom that's as sweet and comforting as a PSL.
