This book was fun, refreshing, and just the read I needed. I'm giving it 5 stars because it made me laugh out loud several times. Is this book perfect? No. Will I read this book over and over again? Yes.
The idea of a bridesmaid for hire intrigued me. The story is less of romance, and more of friendship. There is a romance plot line, but it is secondary. If you look at the story too closely there are cracks in the story. If you just look at it as a fun light read, it can make you smile and laugh.
I signed up to listen to this book for review through NetGalley. When  got approved, it was an e-book. Because this was my first time using NetGalley, I wanted to make sure I read it before the release date. I ended up reading this book all night. I had to get out of bed as I was afraid I would wake my hubby because I was laughing so much.

If you want a romcom, enemy to friends, big brother romance trop, this is the book for you. I'm now off to buy the audiobook so I can re-read it with my ears.
