"Dear Izzy - I feel certain there's a book-loving man living relatively nearby waiting to speak bookish to you 'til death do you part. You just haven't met yet."Izzy Edgewood is a wannabe bookstore owner, quote queen, and Lord of the Rings nerd who has been waiting for Prince Charming to sweep her off her sneakered feet. But it's hard to meet people when you spend more time with fictional humans than real ones. Which is why her pragmatist cousin Josephine decides to take Izzy's future into her own meddling hands and create an online dating profile for the hopeful romantic.To Izzy's shock (and suspicion) , Josie's plan works. Soon, she's dialoguing with a Hobbit-loving man named Brodie who lives in a small town an ocean away from her home in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
