She had her dream body, a killer apartment, the closet she always imagined, and her dream job at her favorite magazine. However, Jenna realizes that this isn’t the life she wanted. She just wants to be with her best friend Matt. Will she end up with Matt in the end or will she keep the ‘perfect’ life she always dreamed of?
