Happily Mary After's Reviews > Madly

Ruthie Fox’s Madly is a charming and entertaining book with an interesting and original story. It kept me guessing and smiling until the end. Winston is a buttoned-up, divorced Brit who runs into the zany, free-spirited Allie at a bar in New York. She’s taken an unexpected trip to the city from Wisconsin to spy on her mother, whom she believes is cheating on her father. She and Winston end up hitting it off, and her hasty trip takes her life in directions she never anticipated.

Both Allie and Winston bring something to the table, and they are opposites who truly compliment each other in their own unique ways. They make a hilarious and sexy bedroom to-do list that was very fun to watch them complete; they had great chemistry. I loved how Winston interacted with his college-aged daughter and how his character developed. There is a cast of great secondary characters that add depth to the story. Madly is an unexpected treat.
