How to Lose a Bachelor
Another study of people circling each other with hidden motives, but delivered as a light, banter-driven contemporary with a guaranteed happy ending.
Joyride
Keeps the close observation of school life and class divides, though the perspective is simpler and the romance chaste and slow-burning.
While it Lasts
Shares the theme of a young man reassembling himself after failure, but emotion is on the surface and the heat much higher.
Never Too Far
Trades layered narration for raw melodrama: secrets, family entanglement, and far more explicit intimacy, with a clear resolution.
