Description
Connie doesn't stand a chance with Josh - not when he worships the wonderful Megan. Fed up, she writes a letter to the universe asking for Josh to fall in love with her, and for Megan's hair to fall out. The next day, Megan's hair is almost shaved off, and Josh is all over Connie like a rash. It's like a miracle - except it's totally unfair! Consumed with guilt, Connie has to put things right...
