Lina Daniels was eleven years old when her mother divulged that true love doesn't exist and heartbreak is inevitable. Now a late-twenties struggling writer, Lina is terrified of opening her heart to anyone. She fumbles through life, battling bouts of depression and avoiding real relationships at all costs...until one too many glasses of wine at a New Year's Eve party undermines her resolve. She ends up in the arms of a sexy, irresistible prospect and decides to give love a chance. The better judgment of her best friends tells her he's not the right guy. But finding the courage to fall in love is only the beginning of Lina's journey. Uncharted risks and bold mistakes open her eyes to a life-changing realization. She may learn her mother was right about the certainty of heartbreak. Yet she may also find that true love does exist, and it makes the heartbreak worthwhile.

I was giving this book in exchange for an honest review
Moonpennies is a funny and slightly sad story about a girl who couldn't see that the boy next store was the right one all along....She spent many years with the wrong guys, perhaps purposely chasing after the ones she knew she would never go the long hall with. And then she met what appeared by all rights to be the perfect guy...and no he wasn't the boy next door.
The story goes on to tell her tale of a twisted adventure that she ends up in...It was hard not to sympathize with the awkward situation she found herself in when visiting what she believed was a very available perfect bachelor....and his wife.
It was a very sweet story, with a bittersweet end that leads you to believe there will be a second book following it.
I was a little disappointed at the over use of the word "fuck"...I am not against language in books-it's often in my daily dialog, so it doesn't bother me in the least to read it as well.....however it seemed like the author may have gotten stuck on repeat with this word.
Aside from that small issue this book was a great read! I sympathized with the main character, she struggled in her adult life due to her daddy issues. Which let's be honest many of use could write novels on our daddy issues....The bigger part though-is in the end (well sortof) she seems to finally be realizing daddy's issues can not control your life forever or you will never get anywhere.
