James Adams ha ventisei anni, troppi straordinari alle spalle e due solide, ferree convinzioni. La prima è che l'amore è la tomba della passione, la seconda è che deve sempre affidarsi al suo insistinto per non finire nei guai. Quando però una sera, complici un temporale e un paio di birre, si trova stretto sul divano della migliore amica di sua sorella, con i calzini zuppi d'acqua e i riscaldamenti al massimo, l'intuito si rivela inevitabilmente un pessimo consigliere. Ma soprattutto, James non fa sesso con una ragazza dalla bellezza di otto mesi, due settimane, quattro giorni e dodici ore - non che tenga il conto, eh - e lui l'astinenza non l'ha mai saputa praticare. Si troverà così a fare i conti con Annabeth, cresciuta a pane e favole Disney - lui, invece, è il classico cinico per tradizione - , oltre che con quei famosi fantasmi del passato di cui tanti parlano. E mentre il mondo sembra premere perché lui superi il bivio di una vita, crescere o non crescere, con lei si ritroverà a fare la più grande delle sue cazzate. Probabilmente a prendersi un raffreddore e tornare a casa sotto la pioggia si sarebbe evitato molti problemi.

Lui dice di lei: "La mia nemesi. Con i suoi abiti dai colori sgargianti, gli occhi grandi e azzurri e la lingua più tagliente di una fottuta lama di rasoio. Bella come il peccato.
