I have already read the Secret Keeper, Plain Jayne, and Quiet Please! But, for some reason, I was hesitant to read this book. Apparently, I must be an idiot, because I loved this book. I did not put it down until I finished it, that's how much I loved it. Of course, the character are always very real, as you would expect from Brea Brown. But, I really appreciated how slowly it took us to learn about what makes Libby tick. It would have been very easy for the author to rush all her secrets, but it wouldn't have been reaistic. So, I appreciated the restraint. It was also nice to see the evolution of Libby's daydreams as she opened up more to everyone around her. Her psychological development is what really makes this book stand out. Of course, Jude, our male protagonist was very sweet, and the rest of the supporting characters were fun, particularly Marvin and Leslie. This a fun chick lit book, but there is more to it than meets the eye. If you are looking for a quick, fun read that also makes you think, you have found your book.
