Plot Summary This is the story of two cute people, Harry and Sally, who meet for the first time in 1977 when they find themselves driving together from Chicago to New York City to begin new lives. Although the 18 hour trip is interesting for both of them, they decide that they are too different from each other to even be friends, and thus, while both settle in New York, they do not try to stay in contact. However, over the next several years, Harry and Sally run into each other several times, and even though Harry had once told Sally that men and women can never really be friends because "the sex always gets in the way," little by little, they become very close friends. Eventually, each one tries to help the other recover from their own failed relationships with other partners. Sally introduces Harry to Marie, and Harry introduces Sally to Jess, but things do not go as planned, and it is in fact Jess and Marie who decide to become a new couple. Thus, Harry and Sally find themselves alone together one more time, and once again each is forced to try and understand their relationship, as it changes from that of acquaintances to special friends to perhaps something even more....
