Summary of What If?: The perfect laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from Shari Low (The Carly Cooper Series Book 1)

Carly Cooper has just turned thirty, and her life feels like it’s unraveling. She’s single, restless, and haunted by the nagging thought that she may have let the love of her life slip away. After coming painfully close to marriage six times, only to watch each relationship collapse, she begins to wonder if one of the men she left behind was actually the one.

With no internet, no smartphones, and nothing tying her down, Carly makes a bold decision: she quits her job, leaves her flat, and embarks on a whirlwind adventure to track down her ex-boyfriends scattered across the globe. Each reunion brings a mix of awkward nostalgia, hilarity, and uncomfortable truths as she discovers who they’ve become—and who she really is. Along the way, Carly is forced to confront her own choices, fears, and the possibility that Mr. Right might not be found in her past at all.

Set in the chaotic, colorful 1990s, What If is both a romantic comedy and a self-discovery tale, brimming with wit, charm, and laugh-out-loud moments. Shari Low spins a story that’s not only about finding love but about reclaiming confidence, facing regrets, and learning that the road to happiness is never straightforward.
