Summary:
Find a Penny pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck...except, of course, if that Penny is charming and pretty and funny, and the person picking her up just happens to be your boyfriend. Alice McKinley's freshman year is not as "lucky" as she was hoping it would be. But she is trying to look on the bright side. There are worse things than being single for a semester...for a school year...for the whole summer...At least Alice can count on her best friends for support-in theory, anyway. Lately they haven't been all that there-for-her. In fact. it seems like Pam and Liz are suddenly involved in intense, secret conversations whenever Alice is around.
Single is starting to feel a whole lot like solo.
