Plot Summary

Jane is a young woman with Asperger's syndrome who is living with her parents in Queens, New York. Bianca is her extremely protective older sister who is now moving in with her fiancé, Rob, in Brooklyn. Jane's parents are now moving to the suburbs of New Jersey and they want Jane to move in with Bianca. Bianca and Rob are not sure once they are ready for that kind of responsibility though, and Jane decides she wants her first boyfriend. This causes some strife to the point where it chafes at Jane's growing independence despite ambient noise creeping into her attention. Eventually, this leads to Bianca trying to dissuade one of her friends, Jack, from dating Jane as she views him as too unreliable for her sister. Written by Anonymous

Quotes Jane: You really shouldn't do that, it's bad for you. And it's illegal to smoke indoors in the State of New York.
Jack: I've heard that. I've also heard that cookies make your butt fat.
Jane: Well, I'd rather have a big cookie butt than be dead.
Jack: Yeah, because then you could eat your own big cookie butt.
