Sarah Reinert is a perfectionist. She’s spent her life trying to live up to the expectations that her parents drilled into her. Always dress well, be successful, find a husband, get married… But that’s impossible. Especially when she finds out her long-term boyfriend is cheating on her via anonymous emails. When she sees the pictures of him with other women, she knows she’s going to break up with him. But that also means she has to move out of the house they own together. Overwhelmed by the idea of admitting to her parents that she’s failed, and having to cram her life back into her childhood bedroom, she asks her best friend if she can move in with him instead. When Sarah comes to Bret with her idea, he thinks it’s the perfect opportunity to finally show her how he feels about her. He’s loved her since the first night they met, but he knew she was in a relationship, so he never made a move. With them living together, he’s bound to find the perfect opportunity to ask her if they can try to be more than just friends. There’s only one problem. He doesn’t know how to tell her he’s the one that sent the emails.
