A struggling writer is forced to walk down the aisle at her best friend’s wedding with the man who gave her book a very public one-star rating. If you like Opposites Attract and Best Friend's Best Friends relationships you'll definitely enjoy this one! Laura Hankin does a great job at pulling at those feelings of not being up to speed with the rest of your friends. As someone who is currently in that phase in life, I totally relate to the feeling of everyone changing around you while you're standing still. While this is a romance story, it hits hard on the other loves in your life whether it is familial or the friendships that feel like family. I really enjoyed this book, it's a total slow burn. I wish we had gotten to the relationship between Natalie and Rob sooner. This was more a story of missed connections or almosts.

Thanks to the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review. This book releases 6/18.
