Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Admissions counselor Eugenia Genie Michaels has dated professor-turned-author Hugh Spencer for four years, patiently waiting him out. When Hugh's bestselling novel lands him on TV, Genie's loved ones tuning in are surprised to see him make an on-air proposal to the love of his life. All assume it's Genie, but off camera, Hugh confesses to an affair, escapes to England for the summer and leaves Genie to do the explaining. Best friend Patty proposes that, rather than moping, Genie keep her mouth shut and enjoy being engaged while it lasts. Soon, Genie's sporting a giant, self-purchased cubic zirconia ring, and masses of wedding gifts begin to arrive at her office. As the inevitable approaches, there's plenty of opportunity for sticky situation comedy, including handsome, charming carpenter Nick, and Strohmeyer nails it at every unpredictable turn.

From Booklist
In Strohmeyer's latest novel, following The Cinderella Pact (2006), college admissions counselor Genie Michaels has to face the world after her author boyfriend, Hugh, proposes on national television to someone else. Horrified, Genie realizes she has spent most of her life "sleeping," or waiting for something to happen to her. Spurred by her best friend, her first action after she awakens is to allow friends and family to believe she is the mystery woman Hugh asked to marry him. Her trickery prompts an irate phone call from the alleged fiance himself. During the deception, Genie enjoys being the center of attention, although she grows increasingly nervous as her mother and sister make plans for the wedding. She also meets a chiseled Greek carpenter, Nick, further complicating her situation. Gradually, Genie begins to realize that she can take charge of her life on her own terms. With or without Hugh, Genie soon seems well on her way to having it all in this humorous tale of romance, heartbreak, and healing. Katherine Boyle
