Once and for All by Sarah Dessen

omggg....i can't wow this book was so good.
SARAH DESSEN YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN.
Spoiler OK SO LOUNA IS IN THE WEDDING BUSINESS & ends up meeting this guy Ethan @ one of the weddings. They spend the entire night together and basically have this instant attraction towards each other. So they start dating but are long-distance. But then one day there's a school shooting at Ethan's school and he was one of the victims :(( HOW FREAKIN SAD IS THAT.
so now she doesn't really believe that true love can last and what not but she meets another guy named Ambrose at another wedding, and she finds him super annoying. He ends up working temporarily for her mom's wedding company with her and she realizes he isn't too bad. and then realizes she likes him. But they do this bet where Ambrose has to stay committed to a girl for 7 weeks and Louna has to date as many people as she can in 7 weeks. BUT THEN, AT ANOTHER WEDDING, when Ambrose goes up to Louna and wants to start confessing his love, he first talks about how he talked to Jilly (Louna's best friend) about his feelings towards Louna and Jilly told him all about Ethan. Louna flips out and leaves before Ambrose says he loves her, and she ends up dating this rando named Ben.
Then on Louna's 22nd....or 21st..or 20th idk birthday, Ambrose drops off a cake at the house (but leaves before seeing Louna) and then Ben comes over and is talking about how he was late because there was an accident with a dog running into the street and the guy who ran after it got hit. SO she freaks out and thinks it's Ambrose & Ira and starts running towards the scene. AND LEGIT- I THOUGHT AMBROSE HAD DIED TOO BECAUSE WHAT ARE THE CHANCES. but she runs into the scene and sees the body and a sheet over it and starts crying but then gets licked by a dog- WHICH IS IRA. and looks up and sees Ambrose. AND SO THEY KISS AND IT'S ALL HAPPY AND I'M JUST SOBBING IN MY BED AT 3 AM.
