At forty-three, Ted is convinced there's nothing remotely remarkable about him, except perhaps his luck in having landed handsome, charismatic Giles as a husband. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen Giles suddenly leaves him for another man, filling his social media feed with posts about #newlove and adventure. And Ted, who has spent nearly twenty years living with, and often \u003ci\u003efor\u003c\/i\u003e, another person, must reimagine the future he has happily taken for granted. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut perhaps there is another Ted slowly blossoming now that he's no longer in Giles's shadow--funny, sassy, more uninhibited.
