Changing Love Lanes "Fluid Sexuality" book is about fictitious characters who are living a double life of scandals and lies in Atlanta business and church areas. They are having Pandora's box affairs with loved ones not having a clue. Plots and scheming with Beverly and Deacon Wayne to destroy Pastor James and Monica's life.

Physical abuse between police chief Todd and is wife, Carol. Karen's husband Deon leaves her while she is battling cancer for another woman. This would be a best seller book and screenplay similar to Waiting to Exhale, Fifty Shades of Grey, and Noah's Arc . If you want a drama filled with suspense and romance erotica, this is the book to read and movie screenplay to watch. If you are in the LBGTQA community and are not homophobia and feel Love Wins this is your book and movie entertainment.

Accuracy of Book Profile
The profile does discuss the book fairly accurately although it is unclear that the therapist is the narrator and technically the protagonist of the story in the profile. By expanding more on the themes and lessons the pitch will be improved in how it's unique rather than comparing to other media.
Draw of Story
The clients all having relationship problems despite their high profile jobs makes them relatable. Dishonesty that is set up in the beginning leaves a good foundation for future conflict.
Possible Drawbacks
The structure of the spread out couples and narrative perspective as the removed therapist makes it hard to track the characters' progress at time due to their limited inner transformations.
Use of Special Effects
THE STORY DOES NOT RELY ON SPECIAL EFFECTS
Primary Hook of Story
The hook is the diversity in the relationships of the characters and how everyone is connected through their city church. It feels like a community, but some within are out to sabotage one another.
Fanbase Potential
This could potentially have a large fanbase due to its adult content and diversity with some shifts on messaging and narrative structure.
Awards Potential
This is unlikely to have awards potential unless more characters have apparent inner conflicts and transformations separate from their romances.
Envisioned Budget
LOW BUDGET

What’s New About the Story
The originality of the story stems from the complex character dynamics at hand, but increasing the emotional investment and depth of the character would help them as individuals feel more dynamic rather than static.
Lead Characters
Debbie is entitled and selfish. James is a bit of a wet blanket but sweet. Javon is dishonest but carefree.
Uniqueness of Story
This has some potential with greater individual character development to match the complex dynamics at hand.
Possible Formats
TV Series: Cable, Network, Streaming
Analyst Recommendation
WORK IN PROGRESS
Justification
While the story has many positive points, it has room for improvement (see possible paths below). If you can't change the story at this point, my suggestion is using your notes as a guide to highlight the best aspects of it when taking the next steps, either putting a pitch page together, a treatment, or a presentation.
Tips for Improvement
Creating greater inner conflicts and transformations for the characters separate from their romances and family relationships could help increase their emotional investment within the conflicts. Altering the structure to have more perspectives of the ensemble rather than from the narrator could also help achieve further tension.
