Inventa camicie di becchime per farsi trasportare in volo dagli uccelli in caso di emergenza, inventa un sistema di tubi collegato ai cuscini di tutti i letti di New York per raccogliere le lacrime di chi piange prima di dormire, riversarle nel laghetto del Central Park e mostrare ogni giorno il livello di sofferenza della sua città. A Oskar capita di piangere sul cuscino, da quando suo padre è morto nell'attacco alle Torri Gemelle.

I lost my high-powered legal career and my boss-slash-boyfriend to one of my clients.

Meanwhile, I've moved back in with my eccentric mother. At a low moment, I end up telling my hot, single brother-in-law all about my troubles over a bottle of whiskey.

I love my new life, but everything changes when a smooth-talking charmer tries to steal my boss's very expensive necklace.

After my fiancée left me for my college friend, the last thing I want is romance. But if I don't get married by New Year's Eve, I'll lose my trust fund. That's why I've hired the Love Fixers, a business that assists the romantically challenged, to help me find a woman who'll agree to a sham marriage.
