Jake and Lucy agree to "pretend" a relationship to stop her father's forcing a choice of a husband on Lucy. Force! Lucy is a top lawyer, a fierce courtroom lawyer at that. Where is her spine? Of course the "fake" relationship quickly morphs into the real thing. Jake's character had so much potential. We never uncover what happened to make Jake runaway when he was 16. There are hints that he has a similar background to Lucy but the facts are just left dangling out there in nowhere land. Lucy is a doormat for her father. She even goes out with his husband pick when in reality his pick makes her gag. Come on. A fast read with some enjoyment but no depth. I wanted more from Burton. Not up to her usual standards. This book is funny, heart-warming, and vey different from the usual love stories. It has a happy ending like pretty much every love story but the characters go through a hell of a rough time to get their happy ending. What I like about this book, is that it shows that it is never too late to turn your life around. You don't like your job, quit and work somewhere else. Choose for yourself and not for others, happiness is contagious but so are bad moods.
Very cute love story left me wanting more I wanted to see into their future.
