Other thoughts: I was surprised by how much Julie Soto makes wedding planning entertaining and interesting. I didn’t have any interest whatsoever before the book but loved those details throughout! I’m wondering how other readers will take Elliott’s next-level grump through the first part of the book and if he’ll win them over still. I didn’t understand how the “Ama/Emma” bit was supposed to endear us to him—maybe it was just supposed to reinforce that Ama is a as in apple instead of a as in all? And I wish we got a little more about Ama’s view on marriage at the end. Still, I really enjoyed this and it was easy to get into! I’ll be on the look out for Julie Soto’s next book!

It's dual POV, a bit of a time slip. Ama's is mostly present day, Elliot's mostly in the past.
I gobbled this book up. The way the chairs end, you just keep turning the page, until your reading device runs out of batteries or gently falls on your face never you are starting to get sleepy. Or both.
I'll hopefully be back to edit this if I can come up with better words, until then, at this to your TBR, if you love grumpy/sunshine, pining, and in M/F romances, the MMC falls first.
