Life As We Know It

Sometimes, life has an unexpected way of bringing people together. This is exactly what happens to Holly Berenson, an ambitious and organized catering chef, and Eric Messer, a successful yet somewhat carefree director at a sports network. Their first meeting was a complete disaster, and ever since, the only things they’ve had in common were a mutual dislike for each other… and their love for Sophie, the young daughter of their best friends, who named both of them as her godparents.

But after an unforeseen tragedy, Holly and Messer suddenly find themselves facing a responsibility neither of them was prepared for: Sophie has been orphaned, and they are now her legal guardians. What once seemed like a symbolic connection between them turns into an overwhelming reality that forces them to live under the same roof and, somehow, form an improvised family.

The story unfolds as they try to juggle their demanding careers while raising a little girl who, despite her young age, quickly becomes the center of their new lives. The initial tension between Holly and Messer is evident in every decision they make—from what diapers to buy to how to survive sleepless nights. However, in the midst of the everyday chaos, they begin to realize that there may be more that connects them than they ever imagined.
