26 year old Evie Walton is looking for love. Not friendship. Not a one night stand. Real love. The kind that she likes to read in books and the kind of love that Princess Leia has with Han Solo, which explains why her search for love hasn’t really been successful as being a complete geek in high school hasn’t really gave her much experience in the boyfriend department.
After a series of dead end dates that ended with “I’ll call you” and long days sitting by the phone eating Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, her best friend Tom sets her up with his friend Neil. Neil seems perfect and everything she has ever wished for. Will she get her happy ending?
