Paisley Barrett is a 23 year old hopeless romantic and a bookworm. She romanticizes everything in her mind, and hopes that when she meets her forever person, they will have the perfect little meet cute, just like all the romance books she loves to read. Lincoln Abbott does not feel the same way about relationships. He thinks of everyone as flings. Partly because he thinks long-term commitment is too much work and a waste of time, and partly because he hasn't found anyone who is willing to deal with his diabetes. Diabetes runs in Paisley Barrett's family. She knows exactly how important it is to take care of your blood sugar. So when she meets Lincoln Abbott-a carefree twenty five year old who doesn't take care of his diabetes-she makes it her goal to get him to let her in so she can take care of him. As they start talking, they realize that there is more between them, and they want more than just friendship.
