The Wrong Bride by Catharina Maura
4.0

Plot: the heroine is in love with her sister’s fiancé. The sister postponed the wedding and the heroine ended up marrying the guy bc of [reasons.]

This trope typically doesnt work for me, but every once in a while we need a messy book. Maura does an excellent job to ensure there's no cheating involved. Hooray! The Wrong Bride is really about pinning and angst. The heroine has a lot of insecurities and trauma because of her toxic relationship with her family, so if you're not up or if it's that one of your trigger I would recommend proceeding with caution. The sequels sounds so exciting because of the excellent family dynamics from the hero's side.

The Wrong Bride is, of course dramatic, because of the plot. The climax was prolonged because of the sister storyline which was brought up over and over again. I didnt like that, I wish the author wrapped it up sooner. Overall, I'm waiting for the sequel because the plot reminds me of What's Wrong with Secretary Kim.
