The Crazy Ex Girlfriends

When Claire met James at a Halloween party in Quebec, she was fresh out of a controlling relationship and ready for a new chapter. Charming, confident, and seemingly emotionally available, James swept her off her feet with romantic gestures, thoughtful gifts, and promises of a future together. But there was one thing Claire couldn't ignore: James had a history of what he called "crazy ex-girlfriends," and the longer they were together, the more Claire began to question whether she was becoming one of them. As strange encounters, secret social media accounts, and increasingly suspicious behavior leave her questioning her own reality, Claire finds herself caught between the man everyone insists is perfect and the gut feeling telling her something is terribly wrong.
