Beth is the maid of honor at her best friend's wedding and needs a date. Many years earlier she had created an imaginary boyfriend named Charlie who she used any time she needed a boyfriend so that her friends and family wouldn't bother her about not having a boyfriend. Charlie had come in handy since she invented him in 7th grade. Beth made up an excuse of why Charlie couldn't make it to the wedding but her mother kept at her about why nobody has ever met Charlie so she thought she should somehow have Charlie show up.Beth accidentally found a man, Alex, trying to break into the best man's car (who is also her ex-boyfriend). She blackmails him with the break in saying she will not tell anyone about it if he will pretend to be Charlie for a few hours at the wedding, just so everyone can actually see Charlie and stop bugging Beth about him.Alex is more than happy to be Charlie because he is actually working undercover as a CIA agent and is investigating a person attending the wedding and this gives him a perfect opportunity to be at the wedding all weekend. Things get a bit dicy when Beth realizes that Alex (Charlie) is there for the weekend when she only wanted him there for a few hours.Alex (Charlie) and Beth have great chemistry which surprises both of them.  Beth's reaction to Alex's announcement of being a CIA agent is so funny. The entire book had me laughing out loud throughout it. Really Beth handles all the things that don't go the way she expects them to pretty well. Alex is so good to Beth and has promised he would protect her. Which he does as part of his job and because he has feelings for her.I liked this book and the opportunity to get lost in this hilarious novel.  I highly recommend it.
