Featured Friday: Love Stinks

February 14, 2025 Weekend Read

Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.

This week, we dump Valentines Day and focus on how most love stories end — heartbreak. Whether because of cheating, divorce, murder or just naturally drifting apart, these characters all know the pain of relationships not working out, and how annoying it is to be a stupid human being with a stupid heart!
