Very Sincerely Yours by Kerry Winfrey

Theodore "Teddy" Phillips is excited. She knows that her boyfriend is about to propose. but... he doesn't. In fact, he asks her to move out. Immediately. She moves in with two of her friends who she seems to have dumped in favor of said boyfriend. Now her only joy in life is watching Everett St. James and his puppet show. Yes, it's meant for children but it's uplifting. And he's hot.

Everett is at a crossroads. His show is about to take off but he's feeling like his life might be missing something. A letter from a not-so young audience member changes his life. And when he sees her singing karaoke one night, he is smitten (even not knowing who she is.)

I wish we had seen some more growth from Teddy who is a doormat. I also wish the chapters had been longer as the very short chapters sometimes made for choppy reading. And the last bump in their road is gotten over too quickly. However, this is a charming read with unexpected characters.
