What happens when the perfect man isn't, and the wrong man is ... perfect?
If there is a list of Good Reasons to Date Somebody, surely "to get my friend some backstage soap opera gossip" is not on it. But if the friend in question is your oldest friend, and you've got nothing better to do since your most recent ex-boyfriend just got engaged to someone else — well, why not?
Jenna just wants to be left in peace to lick her wounds over her ex's new engagement. Jenna's best friend Kari just wants to score soap opera spoilers — among other things — off of scruffy soap star Mitchell Cole. When it turns out that Mitch is interested in Jenna, Kari cooks up a scheme for Jenna to go out with Mitch, so that Kari can pass on insider information to her online friends.
Jenna thinks Kari is out of her mind. Jenna's ideal man is tall dark and handsome, well dressed with a great job. Mitch isn't any of those things. He's the anti-ideal guy. But how do you say no to your very best friend when she wants something only you can give her?
When she agrees to the plan, and Mitch turns out to be nothing like she imagined, Jenna is forced to step out of her comfort zone, face some truths about herself, and rethink what it means to be a good friend — and what it means to have found the perfect man.
