This was so worth the wait! I love the way Reese and Sydney made it from their meet cute to watching Brynn(I don’t know if that’s how her name is spelled) destroy Tripp and Grant at her own rehearsal dinner! Fucking great progression. I hate a third act breakup so the fact that the part where there should have been one had the couple coming together, both emotionally and literally makes me smile lol

Very cute. I liked Sydney and Reese, and Hallie, too. Brynn was a surprising likable character as well. The story was good, different enough from the other “cute” wlw stories. In the beginning I pretty much called how everything would end (the plots in these stories aren’t complex) and still really enjoyed it.

A romance with characters who clearly communicate their feelings to each other??!! I am shook.

But seriously. It was so refreshing to not feel like I was banging my head against a wall with characters whose problems could be solved by just having a conversation. And on top of that it was funny!

And there was no third act breakup!!
