A.J Thompson was a 21 year old girl. Passionate about music and photography, she fell in love with the world. But what happens when her fiancé and long time high school sweetheart Joey makes her world shatter to pieces? Does she vow to never love and trust again? Or will she follow her heart and the advice of everyone around her to become her new best friend Mitchel's lover... "Tell me we weren't just friends, this doesn't make much sense."
