4.5 starsDue to a complicated and tragic past, Libby Foster feels much safer hiding behind daydreams than living her life in real time. When, despite her best intentions, a fantasy life with a sexy British co-worker becomes all too real, Libby discovers that she prefers the real person over the fantasy she created in her mind and begins to open up and explore living in ways she never thought possible. But even as she falls in love, she questions whether she deserves to be truly loved back.I was hooked on this book from page one and I loved the way the author's writing style immediately drew me in. The main characters were quirky and loveable and it was impossible not to root for them even when they did stupid things. The secondary characters, most notably Libby's co-workers, were also a lot of fun. I loved Zoe and Lisa and hated wretched Leslie! The writing was great, the humor was witty and often laugh-out-loud and the chemistry between Libby and Jude was definitely believable. I will admit to being surprised at the extent of Libby's inexperience since I thought it was a result of the tragic experience in her life but she was already in her twenties at that time. Nevertheless, the reading experience was an overwhelmingly positive one - I truly enjoyed this book! Although the ending left me satisfied, if the comments from other reviewers that a sequel is in the works are true, I will definitely read it.
