Izzy Klein has (barely) graduated from college, broken up (sorta) with her boyfriend, and is stranded in  New  York  City  with  a  bad  case  of  pre-real-world  millennial-itis.  Unsure  of  what  the  next  step  is, her  movie  star  little  sister  Sabrina  convinces  her  to  move  back  home  to  Los  Angeles  and  into  her shared  apartment  with  movie  star  boyfriend  Sebastian,  where  they  can  keep  an  eye  on  rudderless Izzy.  Emotionally  unable  to  deal  with  the  loss  of  her  father,  and  slightly  distracted  by  her  mother Deb's newfound love affair with loopy yogi Amythyst, Izzy funnels her energy into dating a colorful bouquet of five complicated and spectacular men: Aaron, Ross, Logan, Mikey, and Charlie, over the course of the next year. Coping just barely with the help of her trusty notebook, she falls in and out of  some  not  so  romantic  romances,  and  figures  out  that  when  it  totally  feels  like  the  end  of  your story, it's often just the beginning.
