Kissing Frogs in Bloomington, MN

At twenty-four, Elliott Roux is what some might call privileged. She comes from a wealthy Boston family and adores her grandmother. Elliott has a close-knit group of friends, loves her roommates, has a decent job downtown that doesn't require much effort, and adores her city. But while her life may seem perfect on the surface, her family is falling apart and she feels like she doesn't know her mother anymore, maybe never did. And then there's the issue of men. Elliott is always dating the wrong guys. Despite her bad luck, Elliott isn't about to give up on dating. After all, bad dates make for fantastic stories. And really, what's better than reminiscing with girlfriends over brunch, recounting dates gone awry? It's just a question of whether Elliott can find a balance between her friends, her family drama, and the social scene in Boston. She is nothing if not determined, and sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince.
