Dear Reader, my name is Isabelle Louisa Edgewood - Izzy, for short. My life, particularly my romantic history, has not been the stuff of fairy tales. Which is probably why my cousin signed me up for an online dating community. The trouble is it worked. My book-quoting Mr. Right is almost too good to be true. But Brodie lives across an ocean. And the other day, a perfectly nice author and professor named Eli asked me out. I feel a rom-com with a foreboding disaster nipping at my heels. But maybe it's time for me to be as brave as my favorite literary heroines. Maybe it's time to take the adventures from the page to real life. Wish me luck. Authentically, Izzy.
