I enjoyed this, but it was an okay book.
Emma is the eldest of five sisters. She is the only one that’s single, her four younger sisters are married or about to be. This story not only followed Emma but also had other plot lines.
Bridgit is about to get married to her fiancé, Paulo. Her best friend Cooper is back in town. Cooper has had a lifelong crush on Bridgit from the day the day they met, but never had the guts to say anything as Bridgit was in a committed relationship.
Emma signs up for a compatibility test to be married at first sight (which is being run by Bridgit and Cooper). The guy at the other end of the aisle…Cooper. However, Emma is crushing on Cooper best friend and roommate, having met before the wedding night.
As the storyline continued, towards the end, you could sense what was going to happen with their relationships.
I really liked their relationship they had between their sisters.
As I said the book was okay and I enjoyed it, but their storyline was a bit all over place, with the main plot as well as the sub plots. The sub plots being based around the sisters and their lives.

Who is the main character in this book? No one really knows. Patrick agrees to participate in a study by Bridget... to blindly marry Emma, Bridget's sister. But Patrick loves Bridget, who is engaged. Emma likes Patrick's best friend, who is also their new roommate. And Emma's other sisters have marriage issues like cheating or wanting to start a family.
It was fun and entertaining for the drama, but the love plots were everywhere! It felt more like listening to a trashy reality tv show than listening to a rom-com book. It ended, and I was like "okay???"

oh this poor woman! she was such a kind person and everyone (and i mean everyone) around her was soooo shitty!
all of the sister shouldve been checked way before it got to the point where it was because like . whoa that was too much to handle. i felt sooooo bad for her and what she deserved. i really would’ve ran away from her family if it was me because like. What the hell!
i was so appalled i complained about this book to my sister and omeven she couldn’t believe the drama. i told her if i start acting like one of the sisters, she has my permission to step in and meddle in my life.
the dialogue was fun although i was sometimes lost (may have been a cultural thing considering they were irish in england) but it was an alright book with far too much drama for me. godspeed to this fictional character. ur in my thoughts babes!
