Steffie's mother always dives headfirst into doomed relationships--a condition Steffie dubs "love lunacy" and vows to avoid. Her own crush on Keith, a gorgeous lifeguard who offers her swimming lessons, has Steffie panicking that she's inherited the lunacy gene. Despite its formulaic romance, the plot has unexpected depth thanks to its dynamic characters, including Steffie's spirited sixty-year-old best friend.
