Well Played by Jen DeLuca

Willow Creek is fine for a small town but Stacey always thought she'd leave. But it's been years since her mother had a nearly fatal heart attack bringing Stacey back. The highlight of her summers has been the local Ren faire and even there, she hasn't changed much since she started in as a teen. That is really brought home to her when her friends Emily and Simon get engaged and start planning the wedding. They are moving forward but Stacey is not. 
One evening after a little too much wine, Stacey emails her summer hookup seeing if there might be something more. He responds and the two are soon in an epistolary relationship. We still see everything from a third person omniscient side of Stacey as she starts to slowly fall for the person on the other end of her screen.
I loved that the potential Big Misunderstanding was cleared up early but didn't love that it was twisted in the end. Still, a good book and I'm looking forward to the next in the series.
