When Harriet, college student and author of the anonymous student advice column Dear Emma, learns that her ex-boyfriend Keith is dating beautiful and brilliant Remy, the girl she's started sharing a library work-study shift with, she immediately decides they're enemies. But just as Harriet begins to warm to Remy, Remy writes to Harriet's advice column alter-ego asking for help with her new boyfriend. Against her better judgment, Harriet advises Remy to break up with him. Is it the right thing to do? No. Does it make her feel better? Yes. Yet, as Harriet observes the fall-out from her self-interested advice, she begins to wonder if it's worth losing Remy just to get back at Keith. Does Harriet have more to gain from a friendship with a girl than from a relationship with a guy?
