High school relationships can be as complicated as those in the adult world.  Eddie is hopelessly in love with his best friend, Wendy, who, unaware of his interest, is infatuated with another guy.  Luke and Roxanne have the perfect relationship – they communicate, give each other space, are never jealous.  But Roxanne is about to graduate and go to Fordham, leaving Luke, a junior, behind – the one subject they avoid. Randy and Charlotte’s relationship is tempestuously opposite – jealousy, mistrust, poor communication.  And on the side, Randy is seeing Laura, Charlotte’s best friend. Last year, Laura broke up with George, Randy’s close friend.  George hasn’t ever really recovered and still hopes desperately that she will come back to him.  In its own comic fashion, Love (Awkwardly) follows these eight juniors and seniors through wonderful, painful, exhilarating moments and emotions that are adult in magnitude but cramped by the confines of high school.
