Augustus Everett est un écrivain « sérieux », considéré comme le nouveau génie des lettres américaines. January Andrews, elle, ne compte plus les best-sellers publiés, mais dans un tout autre registre : la comédie romantique. Aux antipodes l'un de l'autre, ils vont néanmoins se croiser et se lancer un défi. Elle passera l'été à écrire un grand roman littéraire, lui s'essayera à une comédie sentimentale. Afin de trouver l'inspiration, January organise pour Augustus des excursions romantiques, et lui l'emmène à la rencontre de personnes à l'existence brisée. Chacun devra achever son roman avant la rentrée et, bien évidemment, aucun des deux n'imagine tomber amoureux. Bien évidemment...
