This was a cute story about two best friends going on vacations (swapped between each other) and finding love. The honeymoon part comes into play when Holly is supposed to get married but... well... her fiancé is kind of in love with someone else. She's obviously not feeling like lounging in Hawaii to recover on what was supposed to be her honeymoon so she convinces her best friend Ivy to go in her place while she goes on Ivy's two week snowy cabin trip instead. Ivy winds up not staying in the planned hotel - long story - but finds a great apartment with a hot neighbor. Holly, meanwhile, is trying to figure out how to get the fire to work and bumps into Eco Clark Kent, a former classmate. Sparks commence flying! This was a quick read and, as I mentioned, cute, but was pretty predictable. Honestly though, that's what I'm usually expecting when reading a book in this category. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for the advance reader copy!
