Eventually, hitting rock bottom while wearing the ugliest bridesmaid's dress in history forces Bianca to reevaluate her priorities before her life falls apart.

Carolyn's successful advertising career involves selling the idealized female body, and she's obsessed with her own failure to fit that image.

When her new intern turns out to be a tall, handsome preppie with a quirky sense of humor, however, Carolyn realizes that if she can't overcome her insecurities, she might miss out on the romance of a lifetime.

Taylor, a high-powered attorney at a top New York firm, earns more than enough to support a fabulous lifestyle; she just has no life. After her latest relationship implodes, Taylor decides that immersing herself in her career, with the occasional casual fling, is the best way to get through life heartbreak free. Her plan works - until she realizes that it won't leave any time for her friends, family, or the hot investment banker she's just met.

From the witty to the wicked, these friends will let you know the score on life and love, and, in the process, make you laugh, cry, and laugh some more.
