The Invitation by Vi Keeland
4.0
Another Vi Keeland winner for me. I loved the progression of this book between the two main characters, but I especially loved the relationship between Stella and Olivia!
Stella is down on her luck now that her roommate unexpectedly moved out and her rent check bounced. Shortly after, her ex-roommate receives an invitation to Stella's dream wedding - Stella and her best friend Fischer decide to pretend to be the ex-roommate (Evelyn).
While at the wedding, Stella meets and falls into lust with a very sexy groomsmen named Hudson. She tells him that her name is Evelyn, but he doesn't realize that she is lying until she asks for her last name. Come to find out, the dreamy groomsmen is the guarantor for the wedding and also the brides brother!
After leaving the wedding, Stella apologizes profusely to the bride and sends her a gift. The gift being a homemade perfume that Stella is trying to create a business for. The bride, Olivia, absolutely loves the perfume and asks Stella to meet up. Olivia loves it so much that she wants her to pitch her company to the board of Olivia's VC company to gain a partnership, funds, and assistance with launching her business. Low and behold, the one who makes the final decision for Stella's business proposal is no one other than Hudson himself, who has found himself hating the person who crashed his sisters wedding.
The rest is history between those two! As usual, Keeland's story are full of angst, love and a little bit of tragedy. I felt so bad for both of the MCs when the twist came out (I saw it coming KIND of, but now to the extent - UGH poor Hudson).
I have loved every single Vi Keeland book that I have read and this will definitely not be my last.
