Hannah Gavener, an angstful, awkward, and romantic teenager, grows up in the shadow of her more-beautiful sister and cousin to become an angstful, awkward, and romantic young woman. Though she dreams of love, she is still a virgin as she enters college. She lacks not only boyfriends, but friends at all. As she grows up, graduates, gets kissed, moves around, and is stranded by a series of relationship shipwrecks, Hannah struggles to make sense of her possibly foolish quest to find the perfect man.
