When normal dating/shagging doesn't work out, he realizes single moms are easy and invents a two-year-old so he can join a single parents group. Then there's Marcus, the tragically un-hip 12-year-old with a hippie mom and a bully's target on his back. At first you can't help despising Will and Marcus seems way too awkward--but that's the point. When the end comes you wish there was more.

(there's also a movie version starring Hugh Grant, which isn't as bad as it sounds)
