As the only child of doting and successful parents, Nicole 'Coco' Martin has been given every opportunity in life. Her graduation from Columbia is fast approaching, and with it the summer job of her dreams working at a magazine. Then tragedy strikes: Coco's parents are killed in a terrorist attack while on vacation in France. Determined to forge her own path and make her parents proud, Coco pursues her dream. Her goals are to think outside the box-- and always play by her own rules. Drawn to charismatic, fascinating men, each relationship will teach Coco new lessons, some delightful, some painful. She comes to realize what matters, and how strong she truly is-- and in the end, she will discover herself. -- adapted from jacket
