Along with her fellow students and roommates, Imogene (a born again Laura Ashley poster child and frustrated virgin) and Robbie (native New Yorker, budding bohemian, and very much not a virgin), Evie's determined to make her mark both on stage and off.But then life and love, in the shape of struggling rock musician Jake Albery, intervene. And everything changes.Fourteen years later and Evie's stuck. She's now a single mother teaching drama classes, her dreams long since abandoned.
