What’s worse than writing erotic fiction about your crush? Accidentally texting it to her. When this very thing happens to Nousha, she enlists the help of her best friend, Oliver, and they set out on a mission to delete the text. By any means necessary.

Beth sy’n waeth nag ysgrifennu ffuglen erotig am y person yr ydych yn ei garu? Anfon neges destun ati ar ddamwain. Pan fydd yr union beth hwn yn digwydd i Nousha, mae hi’n gofyn am gymorth ei ffrind gorau, Oliver, ac maent yn trio gwneud ei gorau glas i ddileu’r testun. Ar unrhyw gyfrif.
