This series, based on a novel by Carrie Gerlach, features Emily Sanders (Heather Graham), a successful young woman with terrific taste, great friends and a fabulous job as an author of self-help books. But the self-help guru may need help with her own love life. After breaking up with her most recent boyfriend, Emily institutes a set of self-imposed guidelines, referred to as the "Reasons Why Not." What are those guidelines? If Emily, with the help of her friends, can come up with just five reasons why she should break up with a beau, she does.
