Description

Dear Reader, My name is Isabelle Louisa EdgewoodIzzy, for short. I live by blue-tinted mountains, where I find contentment in fresh air and books. Oh, and coffee and tea, of course. And occasionally in being accosted by the love of my family. (Youll understand my verb choice in the phrase later.) I dream of opening my own bookstore, but my life, particularly my romantic history, has not been the stuff of fairy tales. Which is probably why my pregnant, misled, matchmaking cousinwho, really, is more like my sistersigned me up for an online dating community.

The trouble is...it worked. Ive met my book-quoting Mr. Right, and our correspondence has been almost too good to be true. But Brodie lives across an ocean. And just the other day, a perfectly nice author and professor named Eli came into the library where I work and asked me out for a coffee. I feel a rom-com movie with a foreboding disaster nipping at my heels.

But Ive played it safe for a long time. Maybe its time for me to be as brave as my favorite literary heroines. Maybe its time to take the adventures from the page to real life. Wish me luck.

Authentically,

Izzy
