Overview

This fun and quirky story is told by two mentally unbalanced main characters, a delusional homeless woman and a writer with abandonment issues. Virginia the sapphic author insists nothing not even love can save Tori who is of unsound mind and destined to remain on the streets forever. Tori believes it's Virginia who needs saving.

Novelist Virginia Lopez bases her characters on real people who subsequently suffer the same fate as those in her manuscripts. Her bad karma has run amok, and so she vows never to use someone she cares about as a protagonist again. But Tori Laurengo is forlorn at best. What harm could Virginia's words and rotten luck cause the disheveled woman who talks to herself?

Tori is homeless until a stranger offers her a place to stay at a luxurious apartment building in California. There, the socially awkward woman falls madly in love with Virginia unaware that she was chosen to be the doomed character in the author's latest novel Round Trip.
