this book was so so adorable & perfect for this time of year!! plus, I’m team love actually iykyk :’)
dani’s best friend leo is marrying a princess, yes an actual princess. since dani’s the best woman, she has to deal the man of honor, max, who just happens to be a baron, son of a duke. this would all be a wonderful distraction from the fact that she’s in the middle of a messy divorce and hates her boss EXCEPT for the fact that max is the most insufferable person who refuses to take his duties seriously and believe in love. should dani really be judging a book by its cover, though? or is the world right about the big bad baron?
I absolutely adored the vibes of this whole story!! I felt like I was reading a hallmark movie without all of the cheese crammed in there. it was perfectly written!
the characters were all so unique but relatable at the same time that I found myself reading about the same problems I have along with a soon to be duchess lol. it was heartwarming and perfect for the season!!
thank you to netgalley and avon harper voyager for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for a review.
