Dear Universe,
Is anyone out there?
Richard Paul Evans has written another holiday novel about two lonely people who are looking for love in this, the third book of "The Mistletoe Collection."Alex Bartlett has found himself alone and lonely after his wife, Jill, left him for another man. Alex was a salesman for a company called Traffix, which sells traffic management systems for transportation departments. His position requires him to spend a lot of time away from home and he believes it has taken a toll on his marriage. Alex has two best friends, Dale and Nate, and they encourage him to explore online dating. After joining an online dating service, which doesn't work out well at all, Alex notices a blog, "Dear Universe, Is anyone out there?" He finds himself falling for this sensitive, vulnerable woman whose feelings mirror his own. Thinking no one is reading her blog, she writes about her most personal feelings, especially her overwhelming loneliness. Alex finds himself reading the blogs posted by LBH daily and is looking forward to reading her next one. He's reading her posts in Daytona Beach, Florida. Alex decides to find out more about this blogger. Following a trail of clues LBH has laid, he discovers that she lives in the small town of Midway, Utah. He decides to go to Midway, Utah, just after Thanksgiving to find this person.
After arriving in Midway he discovers that all the information he has to go on is this woman's initials. Instead, he finds a woman named Aria, a waitress at the Mistletoe Diner, who encourages Alex in his search while serving him pie and some much-needed sympathy and companionship.
In the end Alex does find his blogger LBH, and it becomes complicated because he can't get his feelings for Aria out of his mind. Alex has traveled to Midway, Utah to find one woman and now he has two. Which one will he choose?
"Dear Universe, Is anyone out there?" Yes, there is always someone out there, don't give up!
