My Real was a quick, light read for me. It's a sweet, second chance love story that will make you laugh a little, get a little teary and smile a lot. Mallory Grant has given her readers a story to brighten their day.Bailey and Andrew met in college. Andrew was instantly attracted to Bailey and she feels the same way, but being very shy and having a dominating room mate she stands back and lets Jessica (the room mate / best friend) sink her claws into Andrew. Over their college years Bailey and Andrew become best friends and secretly fall for each but keep it hidden due to Jessica. When there is a major falling out with Jessica, Bailey leaves and starts her new career and life with her husband.Flash forward over a decade and we meet Bailey again out celebrating her divorce with her new best friend and work colleague and guess who just happens to be in the same bar with his friends celebrating the fact that he is divorcing..... Andrew.Sparks quickly fly and the attraction and connection between the two is undeniable even after so many years apart.I really liked these two characters. They both had insecurities and issues to deal with but it was obvious they belonged together.Andrew's daughter Emerson was completely adorable and it was like an instant family, even with the evil bitch Jessica still causing problems on the side.They have their ups and downs but seem to work things out together really well. I enjoyed the story line and the realness of the issues that Bailey faced. Seeing them get the happily ever after they deserved and the extra surprise was perfect.With lovable characters, a little drama, lots of sweetness and the perfect ending, I recommend this story for those who want a quick, easy, feel good read.
