The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don't leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she's so set on going her annual book club retreat this year--she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures--no matter what. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like it's right out of a novel . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause it \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis place can't be real, and yet... she's here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy store's honey taffy is always sweet, the local bar's burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon.
