For the holiday spirit, “It was her” is set in England’s Christmas lights alongside the stress of the festive events, Harrison Selleck, divorced and drowning in his desert of despair, & Annabelle Gordon, grieving but never allowing anyone to see her true struggles, approach the atomic shift of a lifetime.
Maybe they’re simply following the rush brought by the end of the year, maybe they’re actually finding the real path to a happier end …

blurb:
“Divorces are never beautiful,” Harrison states after overthinking his entire life. Once again. Divorce? Overthinking? Sounds like Harrison Selleck, a 41-year-old divorced man who still grieves over the lost love of his ex-wife, despite the five years that have already passed. Harrison’s desperate to get some kind of relationship he got to know in the earlier stages of that marriage, but he’s also just very very awkward and not easy to handle. He played his luck with many women, tried to “get better” with several therapists and constant advice from his friends. Right when he’s about to give in his misery, he meets Annabelle.
Not once, not twice, three times until the both of them question why and most interestingly where they’ve met before. Unaware of the latter/very conscious of the signs by the universe, they go on a journey of surrendering to whatever is meant for the two. Slowly, Harrison & Annabelle learn to trust themselves and forgive parts of their pasts they’re unable to forget. Because at the end, there’s always a reason to why things happened the way they did and to why two people who lost their faith to true love run into each other.
Will Harrison be able to get his life together in order to finally welcome this new future and is Annabelle the missing piece to it or does he just need to flip the vinyl to the b-side?
