  almost thirty\, fresh off a breakup\, and she&rsquo\;s tired of always be
 ing so uptight and well-behaved. She wants to get a hobby\, date around (e
 specially women)\, flirt with everyone she sees\, wear something not from 
 the business casual section of her closet&mdash\;all the fun stuff normal 
 people do in their twenties. One problem: Avery doesn&rsquo\;t know where 
 to start. She doesn&rsquo\;t have a lot of dating experience\, with men&nb
 sp\;or&nbsp\;women\, and despite being self-assured at work\, she doesn&rs
 quo\;t have a lot of confidence when it comes to romance.</p>\n<p>Enter Ta
 ylor Cameron\,&nbsp\;Napa Valley&rsquo\;s biggest flirt and champion heart
 breaker. Taylor just broke up with her most recent girlfriend\, and her be
 st friend bet her that she can&rsquo\;t make it until Labor Day without sl
 eeping with someone. (Two whole months? Without sex? Taylor?!?!) So\, she 
 offers to give Avery flirting lessons. It should keep her busy and stop he
 r from texting people she shouldn&rsquo\;t. And it might take her mind off
  how inadequate she feels compared to her friends\, who all seem much more
  settled and adult than Taylor.</p>\n<p>At first\, Avery is stiff and nerv
 ous\, but Taylor is patient and encouraging\, and soon\, Avery looks forwa
 rd to their weekly lessons. With Taylor&rsquo\;s help\, Avery finally has 
 the life she always wanted. The only issue is: now she wants Taylor. Their
  attraction becomes impossible to ignore\, despite them both insisting to 
 themselves and everyone else that it isn&rsquo\;t serious. When Taylor is 
 forced to confront her feelings for Avery\, she doesn&rsquo\;t know what t
 o do&mdash\;and most importantly\, if she&rsquo\;s already ruined the best
  thing she&rsquo\;s ever had.<br />See Less<br />&nbsp\;</p>\n<h4><strong>
