This one was pretty complicated! There was pining, second chance, new romance, blind dates. When we got some real competition I didn't know which way she was going to go!
Haleigh Berkshire is ready for a change. She's living in the spare room of a friend's place, she's working two part-time jobs that are going nowhere, and everyone around her is coupled up. Except for her best friend Jack. Jack who knows her so well, but because of the 10 Rules, they base their friendship on... will only BE a friend) Her mom and grandpa are frequently reminding her about how single she is. She's tired of dates that are going nowhere.
Haleigh gets the idea to let everyone in her life set her up on two blind dates to see that she HAS been giving dating a real try. And it is really time for a break.
So on and on Haleigh goes on these dates. Some funny, some boring, some normal but no spark. Then she gets set up with Brian. Brian, who loves animals like she does. Brian, who's pretty sweet and cute. And supportive.
Suddenly, it's looking like she's found a real someone. A someone who can help her get over Jack once and for all.
Through all of this, Haleigh is looking for a job that gets her out of the situation she's in. And possibly a new place, too. This girl is going through lots of upheaval.
One thing I was conflicted about is how adamant her family was on her finding someone. She was only 25, not anywhere near being a lost cause. But families are different.
