About Tight
I was happy in my small town. In my life as a single, thirty-two year old woman. I had a good job, wonderful friends, my independence. I also hadn't got laid in three years. Hadn't been on a date in two. Had stopped counting calories and wearing makeup. . . a while ago. Then Brett Jacobs waltzed in. . . .

Harry Potter: Proof copy found in Oxford school fails to sell
By Jaysim HanspalBBC South
An original proof of Harry Potter and The Philosopher 's Stone that was rediscovered at a primary school failed to sell at auction.
The Book was found during the summer at St Kenelm's Primary School in Minster Lovell , Witney, Oxfordshire. It was bought for £1 in 1997.
It went under The Hammer at Hansons Auctioneers.
The Book has a plain yellow and white cover, and lists the author as " J. A Rowling" on the title page.
Former head teacher Bob Alder, 75, said The Book was originally bought from a bookshop sale to give The Children an " early taste" of the Harry Potter story.
" The teachers did share it with The Children and they loved it - But it didn't get picked up much, " He Said .
He came across The Book , which was kept safely before going missing in 2015, while tidying out a school cupboard during the summer holidays.
The School had decided to sell The Book to help students " further develop their own love of literature" through new books and updated equipment.
Mr Alder said: " Finances are Tight - it's really going to give a boost to giving them new resources in The School . "
Jim Spencer , head of books at Hansons Auctioneers, said: " The plain cover evidently didn't inspire many, if any, takers, and so it has survived remarkably well.
" As soon as Harry Potter mania developed, The School wisely removed it from the borrowing shelves. "
The uncorrected proof copy is one of only 200 printed by Bloomsbury in 1997.
Mr Spencer said: " This book is where it all began. This is the very first appearance in print of The First Harry Potter novel.
" The author's signing tours, The Midnight queues outside bookshops, The Movies , the Merchandise - it all stems from this. "
The Book was auctioned alongside a proposed illustrated cover of The First Harry Potter book and a 15th anniversary competition prize edition of The Book , signed and dedicated by Rowling.
