Now approaching forty, Skye still moves through life entirely--and unrepentantly--on her own terms, living out of a suitcase and avoiding all manner of serious relationships. Maybe her junior high classmates weren't wrong when they voted her \"Most Likely to Be Single\" instead of \"Most Ride-or-Die Homie,\" but at least she's always been free to do as she pleases. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen a twelve-year-old girl tracks Skye down during one of her brief visits to her hometown of Philadelphia and informs Skye that she's \"her egg.\" Skye's life is thrown into sharp relief and she decides that it might be time to actually try to have a meaningful relationship with another human being. Spoiler alert: It's not easy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThings get even more complicated when Skye realizes that the woman she tried and failed to pick up the other day is the girl's aunt, and now it's awkward.
