Modern Relationships magazine publishes a “based-on-a-true” story about Julie Curry and Joshua Fisher, childhood friends who navigate adolescence into adulthood and marry six years after college. Subscribers rate it a romantic hit because of its sweet, fairytale-like outcome. But the actual chance of their romance happening as written is nil. At their fifteenth college class reunion, the couple admits to a fellow alum that the story editor created an entertaining tale but not a factual one. The contrived ending to the story isn’t true. The Four Year Hitch is their continuing love story, authenticated by the alum who listened and wrote it down. Real-life Julie and Josh separated for four years after the article was published, and they almost lost each other forever. It’s a compelling, romantic, almost impossible struggle to be together.
