“Hallie Piper is embarking on a fresh start. After crawling out of the depths of despair in a hotel room (yes, rock bottom), she resolves to embrace full-fledged adulthood.
She secures a new apartment, opts for a new hairstyle, and revamps her wardrobe. However, when she logs into the dating app she’s convinced will lead her to a new love, she stumbles upon none other than Jack, the man whose room she sneaked out of.
Through the app, and with a mutual agreement that they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie become allies in their quests to find their soulmates. They exchange texts about their respective dates, often scheduling them at the same restaurant, just in case things go awry, so they can share post-date tacos.
Spoiler alert: they end up sharing many taco dinners.
Feeling disheartened by the dearth of promising prospects, Jack and Hallie decide to make a bet to see who can find true love first. But when they agree to play the roles of a couple at a weekend wedding, all bets are off.
As they pretend to be a couple, the boundaries between reality and pretense blur, and both struggle to recall why they initially thought the other was a terrible idea.”
