What's better than sex? To Naomi, it's going out with friends for delicious food, winning softball games, and having a whirlwind romance with her close friend. The only problem: despite a decade of friendship, she has yet to come out to him as asexual, and she's unsure if romance with an allosexual guy is even possible with the rotten luck she has had.

Since Kieran's move to a Canadian city miles away from his unsettling past, life has felt dull. Only the near-impossible dream of hooking up with his friend gives him a spark of energy. After failing to win her affection again, he connects with a stranger in a similar situation whose refreshing honesty and unique perspective on relationships intrigue him.   

As Naomi and Kieran's paths cross and they help each other with contrasting goals, will they find happiness or will they want more?
