All Julia Sims really wanted was to say goodbye to her group of friends before everybody vanished off the face of the Earth to go off to University. All five of them decide to go on a mental gap-year to have one last memorable time together before leading separate lives.
Swimming with turtles in Australia. Sun-tanning on the beach in California. Roller coasters at Six Flags. Karaoke sessions in quaint pubs in London. Surfing in Hawaii. Partying in high-up clubs everywhere, anywhere.
But something which wasn't on the list was Julia Sims falling in love. Falling in love with a low-end café singer with the hopes of making it big in Hollywood.
Julia has to make the life-changing decision of choosing the man she has grown to love or her life goal of becoming a life-saving surgeon, getting rid of that place at Harvard which is desperately waiting for her in Massachusetts.
What will she choose?
