What if there were a gene that predisposed a person to be unlucky in love? Frankie, having been dumped eleven times, learns that she has the gene that makes her more likely to be the dumpee in a romantic relationship than the dumper. With the help of eleven-year-old citizen scientist Wilbur, Frankie explores the possibilities of a cure for this unfortunate genetic condition. For fans of silly science, or of the British sense of humour, Love Type D is a charming spoof on the predictable romantic comedy.
