Someone get me out of here

I fell for the cover and the premise of this book, a sort of Made of Honor meets My Best Friend’s Wedding, and I went for it even if it’s the last book in the series. But that really wasn’t the problem here since it does work as a standalone. I started it all happily anticipating the forbiddenness of developing feelings for your engaged bestie and giggling at the funny parts, encouraged that this could potentially be at least a 4 star book.

Then I don’t know where it all went wrong. Actually no, I do. Lia is the Amy Dunne definition of a “cool girl”, the glasses wearing nerd with non mainstream tastes and a boy best friend. Oh, and she doesn’t wear dresses and hates romcoms. Stop it Lia, we get it, you’re “not like other girls”, no need to wallop us over the head with it. What she is is a self centered, manipulative manic pixie dream girl who got on my last nerve. I’d give her some grace but then she goes and judges another woman for being girly and that was my last straw. I know she was jealous and confused, but her cluelessness does not add to her charm either.

Breaker is the type of guy I would never let go if he were my best friend, he’s that perfect, but he also gets annoying with his constant reiteration that he’s a “good guy”, we don’t have to hear it every other page my dude, it only makes me believe you less. And for a man who does not like to throw around his billionaire status, he brings it up unbelievably often. Also, judging your date’s food order is a heck no bro, even if it is about her eating less or healthier. We know they’re not all like your cool best friend, chill
