Slow Dancing

Lexi Steiner is a New York girl transplanted to Southern California, an ambitious immigration lawyer whose best friend (alter ego, actually) is Nell, a writer. The two of them have followed each other around the country since college, being constantly together, sometimes sharing bedmates, and always telling each other absolutely everything. But at the age of 29, their shared life as refugees is beginning to wear thin; maybe love and caring about someone isn't such a bad idea after all.
