The Universe Is a Very Big Place

As the daughter of a fortune-telling mother and a scam artist father, Spring Ryan wants nothing more than to leave her carnival roots behind her, fall in love, and live the normal life she’s always dreamed of.

But things aren’t working out exactly as planned.

For starters, the love of Spring’s life, Trevor Donnelly, has disappeared without a phone call, an email, or even a message in her Twitter feed.

To make matters worse, her mother, an eccentric nudist, moves in ‘just until she’s done with menopause.’

And finally, Spring’s boss has decreed that she must escort a life-sized condom around town to promote teen abstinence in the community.

So much for normal.

Heartbroken and resigned, Spring agrees to marry Sam Wayne, a balding banker with an appreciation for God, books, and a well-mashed potato. He may not be her Prince Charming, but at least he can give her the stability she thinks she needs.

But as her nuptials to Sam draw nearer, an intriguing stranger enters the picture who soon has Spring questioning everything she thought she wanted.

In the end, Spring must decide if she should stay the course or trust in The Universe and take a second shot at love.

In the spirit of Helen Fielding's kooky offbeat love story: Bridget Jones, Spring Ryan must decide if the sexy playboy she thinks she wants is the one she really needs.
