Notes: The 5th in the "The Improbable Meet-Cute" novella series (6 stand-alone novellas released around Valentine's Day 2024), and probably my least favorite, which makes me SO SAD because I love Ashley Poston! (Do not let this novella turn you away from her novels!) I think we just tried to put way too much into way too short of a novella, and it's always hard to do anything any kind of love-triangley in such a short span of pages.

I like Ashley Poston a lot but 42 pages isn’t a lot to play with. It’s a cute idea but I think it needs more space to develop.

Nobody thought to check the bride’s room though? Like, she obviously didn’t show up to anything that morning either and nobody checked on her??? Girl, bye.

This story gave me butterflies! They were so cute and I loved how the romance was not between who you might think it would be about given the plot of the novella! Anything that gives me that many butterflies is almost always an automatic 5 stars.

After starting the year with The Seven Year Slip and now this, it’s official: I need to read more of Ashley Poston’s work! I really like the way she writes!
