Bring Your Lover Back

"I've always believed in made up things. In the back of the cab that shoots me across the night like a meteor, I am more sure than ever that you can make up your whole life if you want to."

After his marriage proposal is abruptly rejected, Peter is left in a haze of confusion, heartbreak, and unanswered questions. Desperate to reclaim what he believes he's lost, he turns to an unconventional source: a psychic who promises the possibility of restoring lost love. As their sessions unfold, Peter's world begins to shift in increasingly surreal and disorienting ways. Time bends, memories warp, and reality begins to fragment. Caught between hope and delusion, Peter finds himself navigating a dreamlike labyrinth of emotion and illusion. In the end, he must confront not only the truth about his failed relationship but also the unstable foundation of his own identity. But the question remains-will he recognize the truth when he sees it?

Deftly blending emotional vulnerability and cinematic flair, Mo David crafts a narrative that is as disorienting as it is compelling. Told with sharp wit and rhythmic precision, the novella spirals through scenes like a reel of film unraveling, capturing the chaos and terror of a person in grief. At once intimate and expansive, Bring Your Lover Back offers a meditation on perception and the fictions we tell ourselves to survive.
