As she works her way from defiant teenager to reluctant career girl, growing older and getting smarter, Jane manoeuvres her way through love, sex, relationships, and the occasional perils of the workplace. She reluctantly succumbs to the questionable advice offered in a pop-psych book entitled <i>How to Meet and Marry Mr. Right</i>.
