Y'all, Summer's romcoms are always fluffy and witty...which is justttt how I like them!! And even though I adored the first book of The Wedding Business Series (If It's Perfect: A Romantic Comedy, aka Hope's book)โ€“which, as a fellow type one, how could I not?โ€“I actually enjoyed Haley's book more. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜ฑ

So, why was that? Well...honestly? This book was just so MUCH FUN! Not that Hope's book wasn't, but this was just a different kinddddd of fun. The pranks were crazy in a totally Haley-way; and while that wasn't the most mature route to handle everything, her antics (along with her accomplices) were goldennn. Maybe some of the book was a little over-the-top, BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST PARTS ABOUT ROMCOMS!

I did feel bad for Austin though, lol. Despite his sneakiness in the beginning, and his original decision of not coming clean to Haley, he really was a sweet guy. I know I was definitely swooning. ๐Ÿ˜ Likeeeee, during a certain "car scene." Actually, a couple of different "car scenes," now that I think about it. ๐Ÿค”

Oh, and that ending (as well as the epilogue) was ADORABLE! I loved them both! *chef's kiss*

As far as content goes: Clean!! Any suggestive material was extremelyyyy minor, so no worries there. Dishonesty was part of the plot, and Haley's mom had some relationship struggles that were talked about...but I wasn't bothered by either of those aspects.

So, I'm going to end this review by saying that I just really loved the book. I enjoyed Haley's relationships with her sister and friends (totallyyyy spot-on, because all I could think about was me and my sisters lolll). The chemistry between Haley and Austin was TOO CUTE (all their little run-ins were just perfecttt). And even though I didn't always feel the hate-to-love vibes, they wereeee more present at certain times...and I was definitelyyyy a fan of them (HOW COULD I NOT BE?!). ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’—
