| Leanne Gitlin lives in a small town in West Virginia, with her mother and her mentally challenged brother. For a number of years, she has run the fan club for Joshua Reed, an up-and-coming actor -- though she's never met him.
All that changes one day, after Joshua Reed comes to the area to work on a new movie. The arrogant, misbehaving Reed drinks too much, steals a limo, and gets into an accident. Through Leanne's intervention, he isn't given jail time, but instead lands a 90-day house arrest -- in Leanne's house. The book follows what happens during those 90 days, as Leanne learns what Joshua Reed is really like, and what she wants out of life. | ||
