At 27 years old, Laura's life is going exactly as planned. She has a great job, a loving family, and is engaged to her true love....until everything changes. Suddenly Laura is forced to recreate her reality and embark on unknown adventures in love and friendships. Rather than a romantic honeymoon, Laura heads off to Europe with her sister Sophia. They enjoy cheese and baguettes by the Eiffel Tower, tapas in Barcelona, and Aperol Spritz in Italy. They practice their Italian, meet New Yorkers that seem like distant cousins, Australians that remind them not to take life too seriously, and most importantly, they discover themselves. Laura begins to see that even though she is missing the love she once had, the love of friends and family is invaluable. Being open to new situations, Laura accepts a job on a cruise ship where she becomes part of an entirely different world. She meets new friends from England, Croatia, Australia, South Africa, and all around the world. She gets to explore countries she never thought to visit. She begins to find happiness as a single woman. She eventually moves into her own condo and celebrates her independence. She becomes open to the online dating world, only to realize that she's rarely interested in going on a second date with the guys she meets.
