Joyce Bowen, a 28-year-old interior designer, has made a name for herself in New York's design scene with her confidence, humor, and unique talent. Five years ago, she harbored a crush on her childhood best friend, Xander Wyatt, but left home for Chicago to pursue her career dreams after a falling-out (he stole her favorite Snickers bar and teased her about it). Now, she's back in New York for a high-tech company's office redesign project, only to discover that the person in charge is none other than Xander-now 30, a rising tech entrepreneur with a cool exterior hiding a warm, witty heart. Their reunion sparks fireworks from day one: Joyce mocks Xander's taste as "straight out of a cheap sci-fi flick," while he fires back that her ideas are "a Pinterest disaster."
