This Valentine's Day, if you're not feeling the love, we've got just the story for you.
It comes from Freddie Gillies, and it's his second book - his first was focused on the epic 23,000km bike trip he, his brother and two friends did from Bali to Buckingham Palace back in 2017.
His new work is a novel: Because All Fades.
It's about two Kiwi couples who set off on a summer road trip to Italy, which quickly sours after an accident - one that will end up testing their relationships.
Freddie admits drawing on some personal experiences here to tell the tale and joins Kathryn from London - where he's on his OE - to explain.
