Reduce da una terribile delusione d’amore, Waverly Bryson, giovane pierre sportiva alla soglia dei trent’anni, ha solo due possibilità: annegare nella disperazione o dare retta alle sue amiche del cuore e rimettersi di nuovo in pista. Così, alla ricerca dell’uomo ideale, si lancia in una serie di appuntamenti che ben presto si rivelano a dir poco disastrosi e che le sue amiche etichettano come “la parata degli sfigati”: il taccagno, il logorroico esperto di detrazioni fiscali, lo stalker che la tempesta di mail a ogni ora del giorno e della notte. Ma non tutto il male viene per nuocere e Waverly, armata di carta e penna, inizia a scrivere brevi frasi sull’amore e sulla vita, spiritose e pungenti, pensando alle giovani donne single e disperate come lei. Che a quanto pare sono molto numerose... Di lì a trasformare quello che sembrava un semplice sfogo liberatorio in una vera e propria linea di biglietti di auguri, il passo sarà breve. E all’improvviso, come capita spesso con una buona idea, la sua vita subisce una brusca e inattesa sterzata...
