Current dilemma: What to do when your much loved boyfriend of ten years gets down on one knee and pops the question you've been secretly dreading?
Options: Stick - say yes, jump on the marriage bandwagon, accept that babies are now standard issue and always wonder if the grass is greener ...
OR
Twist - walk away, move onto your best friend's sofa, pine for your ex but perk up once sexy and seemingly perfect Harry comes breezing into your life...
Hilarious, romantic and painfully honest, Stick or Twist proves that sometimes the most unlikely man turns out to be the One.
