This is a fast, easy read for anyone looking for a low-stakes, light read.

The plot was fun, a woman who is about to get married finds out her husband is cheating and rather than be the one blamed for calling off the wedding she hires a wedding crasher to object to the marriage and spills her fiancé’s secret. She then goes on to help him pull off some wedding objecting jobs and the two can’t stop thinking about each other.

What I wished this story had was more character development and more chemistry. Theres a bit more showing the characters and saying they’re crazy about each other but I just didn’t feel it. 

Altogether a fine story it just didn’t stick with me like other romcoms.
