One: She's the only single person in her friend group, which means she gets the pity nod every time couples start talking about "weekend getaways" or "date night rituals." Two: Instead of just admitting she's single, she's been sending herself fake love letters for months to make it seem like she's got a swoon worthy, mysterious boyfriend. It's been going great... Until Alex- the smug, know-it-all thorn in her side- decides to publicly call her bluff. Just when she's about to be exposed, in swoops a tall, dark, and ridiculously confident stranger named Mickey Callahan, who plays along without missing a beat. Crisis averted. Pride in tact.
