Divorce attorney Alex Turner has never believed in marriage, but she can't ignore a pattern: every man she dates seems to settle down with the very next woman he meets. Determined to figure out what it is about her, she sets out across Los Angeles to interview her exes. Will Harkness, an aspiring chef who has been part of her life forever, comes along for the ride. Spending so much time together forces Alex to face the insecurities she has been avoiding, and the feelings she never let herself have. A sharp, heartfelt rom-com.
