Super Sad True Love Story Summary

Super Sad True Love Story Summary

Mr. Lenny Abramov has been away on a business trip in Rome for a year. Needless to say it is easy to forget about his responsibilities before the Post-Human Services altogether. The man has no time to look for rich clients whose main dream is to live forever, for there are always parties for him to attend, a good-looking woman to spend leisure time with and beautiful streets for him to stroll. One day, just before his planned return to the USA, he meets a young woman of Korean descent whose name is Eunice Park. He falls in love like a fool, forgetting about his financial problems and an impressive age gap.

As soon as he returns to the USA, Lenny understands how bad his situation is. He has almost lost his job and – if it wasn’t for Joshie – he would join the army of jobless New-Yorkers. He doesn’t fit in with the society anymore, so he makes up his mind to change, try harder to be better. Some time later, Eunice, whose tyrannical fathers starts beating her mother again, decides to leave Italy. The woman is worried about her sister and mother and doesn’t want to make them deal with the father on their own. However, Eunice doesn’t want to move in with her parents, so she asks Lenny for a place to say. It He is so happy that he can hardly believe his eyes when he finally sees her sitting on his couch.

They start living like that. Lenny tries hard to improve his position, takes care about Eunice and dreams about the better future. The day when she introduces him to her parents is not a happy one, for Lenny is neither rich nor young, so there is no way he is going to be approved of. He also makes a terrible mistake which is introducing Eunice to Joshie. In spite of their even larger age gap, they start seeing each other behind Lenny’s back. Being unable to forgive a betrayal, he leaves her.

Joshie and Eunice’s relationship doesn’t last. They break up as soon as a new wave of the financial crisis heats all of them. A broken heart and lack of work provide him with an opportunity to write a book. What is more, Lenny who has never been particularly eager to accept a new style of life, decides to move to Italy. The life is different there, for nobody really care about the way to reach immortality. After writing and selling the book about his experience, he starts living a life he has always Dreamt about.
