The Wedding Crasher is a loose follow-up to The Worst Best Man, so make sure you (re)read that first, otherwise you might miss some of the interplay between the Tias and the cousins.
The Wedding Crasher follows Solange and Dean, who meet when Solange steps up an objects to Dean's wedding. Because the bride is in love with one of the groomsmen. And then both of them need a fake relationship - Solange's mother lied to family member in Brazil who's coming up for a visit, and Dean lied to his bosses in an attempt to gain favor and be made partner - and they need it fast.
In general, it's a fun romp around DC, though there are more serious subplots, though they add to the plot, making it very fun and interesting story about finding out who you really are and what really matters. Though I am annoyedPeter does not get what's coming to him, what with the sex party and how he treated Kimberly.

I’m really bummed that somehow all of the highlights I made when reading this book were deleted because there were some really good insights on life and change and choices. But especially after a surprise twist at the end, I think that going back for a re-read will be just as good (if not better). So many fun situations (a sex party followed by simulated birthing contractions; an only-one-bed situation hosting cousins from Brazil) and I liked that the conflict in this one was concern about if/how they could fit their lives together and they were mostly honest about their feelings. Loved it.

Because I loved The Worst Best Man and this novel is a sequel, I thought I was going to love it too or at least like it a lot. At first I wasn't hooked but from the fifth chapter on I started to like the novel. That is until chapter 15. I wish there were more TW options as I would have been forewarned what happens in this chapter. Because of that I couldn't continue it and my rating has been greatly reduced.

The Brazilian in me loved all the Portuguese and Brazilian food descriptions. That made my heart glow 🥰🥹🫶🏽 We more Brazilian rep in our books ! Minus that, the sex scenes were 🥵 but that’s kind of all I really ended up admiring. Again, I feel a little too many parallels between Lina + Max reflected on Solange + Dean.

I LOVE Mia Sosa's books. This is the second one I've read and I can say with conviction that she's one of my favourite romance writers.
This book was such a spectacular follow-up to The Worst Best Man. I loved seeing the characters from the previous book pop up here and there. But more so I loved Solange and Dean. Their slow build friendship into romance through their fake dating charade was so natural and easy. I loved that their mutual honesty and understanding of each other was the foundation to their partnership, friendship and eventual relationship.
The physical chemistry was also chefs kiss. Absolutely spectacular smut.
I loved the family dynamics, the full family bonding that happens, and just literally everything. I got nothing else to say except garbled excited noises.
