After a disastrous encounter with a stranger at a party, a woman is horrified to find him waiting for her on her first day at work. As she slowly falls for her boss, she begins to question her first impression of the man she thought she had already figured out. A starstruck girl gets a glimpse into the glamorous world of celebrity and discovers that fame is not what she imagined. And when an unexpected romance blossoms in a bustling hair salon, one woman must decide whether she is ready to open her heart again.
Elsewhere, one woman learns that some exes are best left in the past, another takes a chance on love by shooting her shot, and a third discovers that choosing herself may be the bravest decision she will ever make. As friendships fracture, betrayals sting, and difficult choices reshape lives, these women confront the complicated realities of love and the people they hold closest.
Told through eleven rich, evocative stories, One Poison at a Time is a tender, witty, and poignant portrait of women learning that not every love is meant to last, not every ending is a tragedy, and sometimes the hardest person to choose is yourself.
