    • Ellie nikdy neviděla ve své sexuální nezkušenosti problém. Až do chvíle, kdy jí doktorka nutí test na chlamydie, protože nechce uvěřit, že je v 21 ještě pannou. Ellie si přijde divná a stydí se, že nikdy neměla žádný pořádný úlet, natož kluka. Rozhodne se tedy k činu: musí přijít o panenství ještě před státnicemi, dokud je jakžtakž s kým. Na jedné párty se jí nečekaně podaří sbalit o několik let staršího Jacka a s pomocí svých zkušenějších kamarádek kuje pikle, jak ho úspěšně svést. Mise se zdaří, avšak kromě šrámu na duši si z ní odnáší i původně záviděné chlamydie. Ellie vtipně a velmi otevřeně popisuje cestu k objevení své sexuality a všechny otázky, které se jí přitom, stejně jako každé holce, rojí v hlavě. Se svou novinářskou otevřeností se o nich ale nebojí psát, a tak si dokonce založí blog o vaginách, panenství, sexu a o všech těch trapných věcech, které se při něm mohou přihodit. Blog jí nakonec pomůže získat nejen vyšší sebevědomí, ale i práci svých snů.

    • Nina didn't plan to spend her thirtieth birthday in jail, yet here she is in her pajamas, locked in a holding cell. There's no Wi-Fi, no wine, no carbs, and no one to celebrate with. Unfortunately, it gives Nina plenty of time to reflect on her screwed-up life. She just broke up with her fiancé, and now has to move back into her childhood home to live with her older brother and their uptight, traditional Indian mother. She's an underpaid freelance journalist who wants to write about things like race and politics, but instead pens puff pieces. And her friends are too busy with their own lives to hang out with her. Just as Nina falls into despair, she discovers a book to read: How to Fix Your Shitty Life by Loving Yourself. It must be destiny. With nothing left to lose (clearly), Nina makes a life-changing decision to embark on a self-love journey. By her next birthday, she's going to find thirty things she loves about herself.
