Description doesn’t give summary

I held off on buying this work for awhile because the description didn’t have any information about the plot of the story. Basically it’s a story written in a series of emails about a twenty something woman living in NYC and working as a journalist. Her neighbor gets whacked on the head and goes into a coma, and she is left to watch her pets and try to get in touch with the neighbor’s nephew. The nephew, max friedlander, is a jerk and doesn’t want to go and gets his friend, John, to masquerade as him. John and Mel have an immediate connection, but Mel thinks that John is Max friedlander!

"contrived".

the story and structure and everything else about it is nice but it feels like the story is way too contrived it's a sweet story but honestly it's just too obvious on its plot points.
