She is stuck in a rut with her career and she has just been dumped by her fiance. After a night of cheap wine and hitting rock bottom, all Avery wants to do is lie in bed at home with a gallon of ice cream, but her three best friends have other ideas. They have planned a cross country road trip to a prom to help Avery start over. Step one is an Ex-Bachelorette Party in Vegas to help Avery try and forget her ex-fiance. Instead of forgetting him, though Avery finds herself the star of her own web series. As a result, she goes on a filmed hunt across America to find a prom dress, a hot date, and a pair of amazing shoes. Will Avery be able to heal her heartbreak, survive internet reality show fame, and have the perfect prom?

Excerpt
"You and Uncle Flynn broke up?" Hannah's voice raised an octave in utter teenage shock. "Are you serious? But you were engaged."
Hannah was already calling him Uncle Flynn. My heart wanted to crack open and then burst into flames. I couldn't think about Flynn right now. Hannah had to go to the prom.
"Yes, I'm serious. And I'm serious about you going to prom," I said.
"But I can't. Nash said..." Hannah started.
"I don't care what Nash said. You have to go anyway. Seize the day. Carpe diem," I said feeling suddenly impassioned and inspired for Hannah.
Hannah had to go to the prom for me, for all girls who didn't have a date, for anyone that had been dumped, for anyone that was an ex-fiancée and also hadn't gone to her prom.
"I don't have anyone to go with, though, Aunt Avery," Hannah reminded me.
"I'll go with you," I heard myself say.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
"Okay..." Hannah said. "But, seriously, what about a date? I mean I kind of dreamt I'd go to prom with a guy and..."
"I'll find us both dates!" I said.
Hannah was silent and then seemed to have a dawning realization, "Are you drunk?"
I ignored her, "So, when's your prom?"
"Saturday," Hannah said sounding dazed. "But Aunt Avery you can't..."
"This Saturday? As in six days from now?" I asked.
"Yeah," Hannah said. "Aunt Avery, I don't think...."
"Go buy a dress. I'll be there," I said and hung up the phone before Hannah could say anything else.
My mind was spinning. I might not have a fiancé, but I was about to go to the prom. I took another sip of wine. This was a great idea, a really amazing idea. I was going to start my new life with no regrets. It was perfect. I was excited. I had purpose. Now, I just needed a dress, a date, and a limo. Life was awesome.
