It’s wedding season and if you’ve been a bridesmaid more than five times you’re thinking when is it my time. Well this is Rachel she owns a store that brides like to register at and it the beginning of wedding season and she just wants her guy, but she’s having a hard time finding him. Now Cam is the same but he’s a baker and he dislikes working with engaged couples. These two meet at a wedding where she’s a bridesmaid and he’s a fill in for the groomsman who injured himself. They meet they like each other but they leave with other people. So in the heart of wedding season it’s horrible to be single. So these two agree to be each other’s plus one. Now this book is a slow burn because as they start to enjoy each others company, they get visitors and realize they need to do some self reflection and work on themselves. This is a new author to me. I enjoyed the sunshine grumpy trope. I like the interesting plot and there was some good banter between them. But some parts of the book were slow moving but overall a cute, lighthearted book about finding love.

✨ Book Review: My Plus One You by Angela Haas ✨
“She knew she loved him when ‘home’ went from being a place to being a person.” — This quote from the book perfectly captures the magic of this romantic comedy!
Angela Haas delivers an irresistibly charming, laugh-out-loud, and deeply heartfelt romance with My Plus One You. From the very first page, I was hooked by Rachel’s witty narration and the chaos of being a perpetual bridesmaid—ten weddings deep and still wondering, When is it my turn? Enter Cam Nash, the last-minute groomsman stand-in who turns Rachel’s wedding season blues into something unexpectedly thrilling.
This book is packed with sizzling chemistry, banter that will make you grin like an idiot, and moments that make your heart do that little squeeze. Rachel and Cam’s dynamic is the perfect mix of slow-burn and electric tension. Cam is that grumpy, broody mystery man with a past, while Rachel is the sunshine with a streak of bad luck in love—but together? Fireworks. 🔥
There’s humor (yes, there’s a scene involving rogue shirt buttons and tight pants that had me cackling), there’s heartache, and there’s the kind of romance that makes you believe in love all over again. Not to mention, the side characters are just as lovable! Friends, weddings, and unexpected love? This book has it all.
If you adore rom-coms with swoony moments, fake-dating tropes that turn into something real, and a story that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy, My Plus One You is a MUST-READ. 💕
⭐ Rating: 5/5 ⭐
✅ Witty & hilarious
✅ Grumpy x sunshine

This was the first romance-genre book for Angela since normally she writes more Superhero Fiction. It started out strong and funny, which does draw you in quickly. The storyline basis was good, but there was a bit of what I would call self sabotage through the story. They do eventually overcome that that we can get our Happy Ever After ending that most of us chase. If you enjoy a very slow burn and not much spice, this would be a good book to fit those categories!
The representation for mental health was also present, which is a welcoming change among books that are recently released.

When Rachel and Cameron meet at a wedding they are not excited to participate in, they forge an easy friendship. They quickly learn that they enjoy seeing each other, and when Rachel needs an escape from her mother and her ex, she finds Cam a willing participant. They quickly agree to be the other's "plus one" during wedding season. But when the chemistry builds, will they try dating for real or stay in the friend zone?
If you're looking for a slow burn, lots of flirting and low-spice contemporary romance -- this is it!

"My Plus One = You" by Angela Haas is the first young adult romance novel I have read, and to my surprise, I loved it so much. Both Rachel and Cameron have traumatic pasts that they have not fully addressed, yet they still develop feelings for each other. The emotional tension was painful, and the hilarious banter kept me engaged throughout the story. Angela Haas beautifully conveyed the characters' feelings, allowing me to sympathize with them on their journey. I laughed and cried with every page turn. The slow burn of their relationship was sweet torture, and the ending provided a significant payoff. I want to thank Angela Haas and Grey’s Proms for providing the ARC.

many thanks to greys promotions and the author for this arc
this was an emotional read wrapped up in a cute and funny rom com. i loved the premise and fake dating aspect of it as neither of them could stay away from the other. the dual pov was great for this story and i loved the chapter titles
there was some depth here that took the book up a notch for me and i really did appreciate how i could get lost in the world. Rachel knew what she wanted and was the push Cameron needed to finally move on. i loved the found family aspect of it and would love to see more from this world.

This is a pretty typical friends-to-lovers rom-com about perpetually single people who never have a plus one to typically couples events. They both have terrible exes who, of course, come out of the woodwork to wreak havoc on their lives.
They have some spicy moments together but they aren’t supposed to mean anything until they do. They have to figure out themselves before figuring out what they are.
Once all this was accomplished, it was smooth sailing. Once again, I feel like there were moments that were unnecessary and made the book longer than it needed to be and I found myself skimming through some of it just to finish it.

this was such an entertaining book and its easy to breeze through. its cute and funny, romantic, lots of tension and chemistry, while also being being a little frustrating at times. the characters, especially the mmc and fmc are very realistic. this has miscommunication of all sorts, as well as assumptions which was irritating but i think that was one of the perks of this book and tends to happen irl a lot! and i love how this book showcases a very toxic mother since i almost never see that in anything else i read. and the found family omg! its so refreshing to read something where the two mcs are healing together and find solace in each other.
