Authentically, Izzy
Book Feature - Authentically, Izzy by Pepper Basham
HBL Note: Do you prefer the company of fictional characters rather than real life people? Would you prefer to be tucked away in a corner with a good book rather than mingling at a party? Do you believe the book is always better than the movie? Then you are kindred spirts with Louisa Edgewood, an introverted bookworm who finds that her cousin set up an online dating profile for her and she’s mortified. Will she find love or will she find more than one love?
'Authentically, Izzy is an absolutely adorable, charming, sweet romance that genuinely made me laugh out loud. A wonderful escape you're sure to fall in love with!' --New York Times bestselling author Courtney Walsh

From the publisher:
Dear Reader,
My name is Isabelle Louisa Edgewood—Izzy, 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. (You’ll 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 cousin—who, really, is more like my sister—signed me up for an online dating community.
The trouble is . . . it worked. I’ve 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 I’ve played it safe for a long time. 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
