Ingrid’s boyfriend Cory has a proposal: date other people for a month and then either break up or get married. The only problem is, when the month is over, neither is ready to make a choice. Enter Macon, the nerdy glasses sporting co-worker that Ingrid has always had a crush on. Here’s her chance to act on it. What follows is a friendship that turns into something more, and a dream career that might just become reality. Gently and realistically written, this is a story that plunges you deep into the lives of these characters, their struggles, and their dreams. A delightful women’s fiction debut from a beloved young adult author.
