At 28, they're still best friends. Tracy's an artist, working as a temporary. In her current assignment, she's a wedding coordinator. John's a screenwriter, working as a journalist and comedy writer. John and Tracy are also avoiding their mutual attraction that began with a kiss after midnight on prom night ten years ago.
Fiction soon becomes fact and the couple give in to the inevitable.
The characters are funny and likable and we can't help pulling for them to get together. Susan's problem is she wouldn't recognize such a man if he sat next to him in a car. Enter August Jackson, a successful businessman who's looking for an educated, independent woman to share his life and love. While you don't have to be clairvoyant to see why Susan is attracted to August, it's hard to understand what he sees in Susan. She's an unromantic, uncooperative, superficial shrew.
