Nine months after losing her job, her boyfriend, and her adorable San Francisco apartment, Ripley is 37 years old and back living with her parents in her home town of Portland, Oregon, completely overwhelmed by the idea that at some point in the last few years, she had lost sight of who she was and what she wanted.
To help her realize that she is, in fact, a badass, her best friend Kris encourages her to take a Hot Pilates class, where she meets Joe, the golden-haired Pilates God and owner of the studio. Try new things- meet hot men? Got it, universe! And as if the universe hasn't spoken loud enough, she meets gorgeous hazel-eyed David at her favorite coffee shop- same day. Okay, now this is getting weird...
Her lustful dilemma doesn't last long when an awkward date with Joe leads Ripley to the realization that David would definitely be a better fit with way less complications, or so she thinks. With attraction building between Ripley and David, and with a little help from Powell's Books, she tries her best to stay focused but can't help thinking about what a future with David would look like. And as they both try their best to stay present and see where its goes, it's not lost on anyone who knows them that this connection is anything but casual...
