From the bestselling author of The First Wives' Club and Young Wives, a sparkling New York comedy about making plans for other people -- and then tripping yourself up in them. There's something magical about Brooklyn's Billy Nolan. It's not just that he's wickedly attractive, it's that any woman he dates and dumps (and he dates and dumps them all) immediately goes on to marry someone else. Sassy, uptown New Yorker Kate is immune to Billy's charms - she left Brooklyn behind a long time ago, and she's not about to fall under the spell of a handsome waster from the old neighbourhood. Besides, she's dating the eminently suitable Michael. But perhaps the 'Billy effect' will work for Kate's friend, Bina, who has fallen apart because her almost-fiance, Jack, is going away to 'explore his singleness'. All Kate has to do is get Billy to date Bina and dump her - and then await Jack's return and watch the magic happen. It's a great plan and at first it seems to be working.

Yet, she longs for passion and romance—moonlit cruises, hand-holding, and stargazing. Sylvie laments, "When you're married, you don't even get kissed on the mouth." With the twins off to college and the business flourishing, she believes it's time to rekindle her marriage. However, her world shatters when she discovers incriminating credit card receipts revealing her husband Bob's affair. Shocked and furious, Sylvie fantasizes about revenge, but her mother urges her to consider saving the marriage. Ignoring that advice, Sylvie confronts Marla, the other woman, only to find a surprising connection: Marla resembles a younger version of herself, and despite enjoying Bob's affections—flowers, hot sex, and romantic dinners—she admits to yearning for a husband and home. "When you're single," Marla sighs, "you have to smell good twenty-four hours a day." Instead of seeking revenge, Sylvie devises a clever plan to turn the situation in their favor. But will their scheme lead to fulfillment, or will they end up heartbroken?
