And when he wanted her back like nothing had changed -- Delia started to wonder if perhaps she was not to blame...

Delia and Paul have been together for ten years. They have a delightfully goofy old dog named Parsnip, a lovely house, and are comfortably happy. Delia loves Paul and is ready for marriage. She even has the ring picked out and the money saved to buy it, and so goes ahead and proposes. While out celebrating their engagement, Delia receives a text message from Paul, but it isn't for her. It's for his secret lover. Thus launches a delightfully quirky romance story about a woman who decides comfortable isn't quite good enough for her anymore. There's a crazy boss, a charmingly annoying reporter, and a fun cast of supporting characters. What kept me from LOVING this was (view spoiler)[the sort of creepy friendship Delia develops with an online troll who turns out to have a heart of gold. Really? Also, the take down of her her shady boss and her shady new job took up way more time then developing her relationship with the guy she ends up with. (hide spoiler)]
