What Rhymes with Magdalena? • Magdalena is a poet whose relationships have only ever ended in painful heartbreak. The night before a major decision, Magdalena is determined to break the pattern and tracks down her eight exes, desperate for closure. But reconnecting with them proves difficult as, one by one, they challenge Magdalena’s views in unexpected ways. Some offer advice, romance, and other outlets but nobody offers easy answers. As Magdalena’s future looms over her, she must face her self-destructive demons or end up in a life of solitude.
