Plot Summary of Mike, Mike, and Me
"Mike Mike and Me centers around a woman named Beau who finds herself close to forty and feeling burned out by her life. Dealing with a distant husband and a boring life in the suburbs, Beau is surprised to receive a flirty email from her ex boyfriend, Mike. Back in the day Beau was torn between two men, both of whom were named Mike. Beau married one of the Mikes and dumped the other one.

Beau takes the reader on a walk down memory lane as she revisits her life and the choices she made. We see Beau meet, date, dump and marry the two different Mikes. The reader is not certain until the ending which Mike Beau ended up marrying and which Mike has recently been flirting with her via email. As Beau struggles to resolve her lingering doubt over past decisions, she finds herself questioning her current existence. Did she choose the right Mike? And if not, is it too late to make a life with Mike Number Two?   "
