After ten years in a relationship, Delia is ready for marriage and a family. Wanting to move things along, she proposes, only to find out her boyfriend has been cheating on her. Needing space and time to straighten out her upended life, she quits her job and moves 300 miles away to live with her best friend in London. Delia starts a new job and begins to think things are looking up—until she meets a mysterious journalist, Adam, who seems to have it in for her and her new boss. Now Delia must figure out who is trustworthy and who is not, all while trying to rediscover who she is and what risks in life are worth taking.
VERDICT The likable and quirky characters in best seller McFarlane's (You Had Me at Hello) charming story of romance and love will keep the pages turning and have the reader laughing out loud. Delia's quest to be the hero in her own story is full of exciting plot twists and hilarious situations. This is a witty read for those who enjoy a charming heroine and a happy ending and essential for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Jojo Moyes.
