synopsis
Andie Anderson, the how-to girl for Composure Magazine, agrees to write a firsthand account of all the things women do to drive away men; she has to find a guy, make him fall in love with her, then get dumped--all in 10 days.

So while she's trying to lose him, he's doing whatever it takes to keep her!
