Synopsis: What if you could find the love of your life just by reading between the lines?

Single mom Fordham Price is juggling her job at a small publisher, her precocious ten-year-old daughter, and her feisty mother. She wants to find time for men, but after a series of dating disasters, her relationship status is still stuck at single.

As if her macchiato lite wasn’t already overflowing, a co-worker gets pregnant, and Fordham is expected to step in and deliver the company’s latest reality read from the Flowers from the Heart series. She must now supplement her own romantic misadventures with tales of cynical cat-ladies, identical-twin husbands, spunky monks, and countless other web-crawlers.
As she wades through the submissions, she finds one from a widower whose story gives her tingles in all the places she forgot existed. His words draw her in until she finds herself daydreaming about him more than she’d care to admit.

Could she have a love like that, or will her romantic fate be forever bound to her philandering ex-husband?

Review: I felt like this book was pretty good. The plot was intriguing and I loved how strong and independent our main character was. The character development was well done and I thought that the book did really good at being funny and romantic at the same time.

However, I did find the pacing a bit too slow for my tastes and sometimes the writing got a bit confusing. The book takes a bit to get into as well. For the most part I feel like I didn’t connect with the main character, so I feel like I’m not

Verdict: A rom-com for you, perfect for summer!
