But as obstacles continue to get in her way â Simonâs perfect ex-girlfriend, her brotherâs big(ish) fat(ish) Greek wedding, and an obnoxious publicist determined to ruin her career â ZoĂ« begins to wonder whether, after all these years, she and Simon just arenât meant to be.
What if, despite what all the songs and movies say, your first love isn't always all it's cracked up to be? What if, instead Zoë and Simon are forever destined to shuffle around their feelings for each other, never quite getting the steps right . . .
