Maeve and Asher, besties for years, end up with a trip to Vegas where they elope as a haha for the night. But surprise! Everyone at home knows the next day and they decide to play along for… just a little while. Only one of them decides to play for keeps and I don’t think Maeve minds one bit. Will they take the leap and risk it all? 

The annual Big Adventure is so, so sweet. Asher is so, so sweet. I don’t know if I’d count a Vegas elopement as a Big Adventure, but then I think of everything Asher does for Maeve and I’m like ya know what… I see you girl. I see right through you. 

Husbands, take notes on Asher.

I truly enjoyed this journey. I am not usually a friends to lovers gal myself because I like the sassy banter between enemies/rivals but Asher brought the sass enough for everyone! By the end, they was annoying me. Just say it. Just say the damn words. But also I get it could be insanely scary. 

Ruby is everything. Thank you Lauren for our beloved pet babies. 

TL;DR Amazing vibes, no notes.
