Always falling for the wrong man, One Hot Mess follows Twenty-something Sara Hendrixson as she struggles through a series of men, catastrophes and self-destructive acts, including getting punched at a wedding.
Fresh out of college, Sara scored a coveted job with a start-up cardboard bike company, has a great boyfriend and an active social life in a hip, college town. But after discovering her boyfriend is cheating, Sara finds herself in a downward spiral: her ex asks out her closest frenemy, her rebound lover reveals a long distance girlfriend, and her start-up encounters a public spectacle gone very wrong, and it's up to her to fix. Meanwhile, a chance encounter with an old friend forces her to question her choice in men, learning that sometimes you need to take a leap of faith when it comes to business, life and love.
Even though she's one year out of college, for once in her life, Reese Adler is going to have a summer for herself.
Her little brother, who she practically raised, is finally graduating high school, so Reese has plans to spoil herself with the money she no longer has to send home - starting with seeing him walk across the stage to accept his diploma.
But when a pilot strike shuts down airports across the country and Lucas Finn, the one person she absolutely hates, is proposing they road trip back home together - from Boston to Seattle - she can't believe she finds herself agreeing to get in his car.
It's only one week - Luke will never change her mind about him, and the pilot strike will most likely be over by then.
