The Buggy List

Drew and Libby Sullivan met in college, when Libby nearly ran Drew over, and they have been a couple ever since. They are married now, they have just bought a house, and both are doing well in their jobs. From outside, the pair look settled and sure of each other.

Then they decide to start a family. Before they do, each of them writes a list of five things to get done first. One item has them posing as singles at a speed-dating event, with their friend Tom along for the evening. Another is the honeymoon they never took.

The lists begin as a game, but they soon produce secrets and small white lies. Drew and Libby want different things, and the gap between them widens with each item they tick off. To stay together, they have to work out again what drew them to each other in the first place.

This is a romantic comedy about a married couple rather than a pair of strangers meeting. The tone is humorous and the content is clean, so the story stays free of explicit scenes.
