Friendship is a source of strength and comfort.
Minnie and Jesse first encounter one another in a cosy cafe, striking up a conversation that leads to an agreement to have regular and purely platonic "play dates" in order to establish new connections. However, adhering to the advice from their therapist proves to be quite a challenge. Minnie is grappling with the aftermath of a painful breakup while also pursuing her dreams in the acting world, whereas Jesse is dealing with the recent loss of his father, the betrayal of his wife, and the endeavour of writing a children's book. Their shared escapades take them on a journey to Paris and Provence, where they visit Jesse's mother. The narrative of the book incorporates poignant flashbacks and examines the Bechdel test, at times utilizing strong language. Despite the challenges stemming from a difficult breakup, the overall story is deeply heartwarming, and the characters are truly endearing.
