I’ve read a bunch of queer romances that were swimming in queer characters and, as much as I like to see that representation, it’s nice when the focus is on the main characters and a few background ones. It’s even better with how Deaver presents Neil and Wyatt’s sexualities and feelings/thoughts about gender. I think that’s what I appreciated the most from this book.

The premise of the wedding and surrounding events was well-planned in my opinion too! A lot of times I feel like writers ‘force’(?) books’ worlds to be smaller so it gives more opportunities for characters to run into each other. This book didn’t do that - another plus. And the fake dating felt just as awkward and cute as it should have.

Side Note: Pink isn’t really a color I like but I do love the cover of this book!
