When she first married her neighbour Liam Evie was five. When they were twelve he promised to look after her. When they were in high school he invited her to prom and didn’t turn up. Since then Evie has done all she can to avoid Liam.
We follow Evie as she finds herself under pressure to attend her brother’s wedding. Her mother keeps sending her passive-aggressive messages. So it’s not much of a surprise when Evie finds herself agreeing to date Liam for the wedding.
What she’s not prepared for - even though it’s obvious - is her very real feelings for her nemesis.
I picked this up to fulfil the PopSugar prompt about a character living with chronic pain. The figures around endometriosis are shocking and it was hard to read about the suffering she endured.
