The only guy who she ever said yes to a date to, Sophia is seriously reconsidering her earlier resentment towards love. However filled with secrets, tragedies, and unbelievable twists, Sophia doesn't know how long she can stay on the roller coaster called love, but she can't even imagine life without the flips and turns that love brings.
