This feels a lot like "Buttons" from the Pussycat dolls. After you read it, you'll understand it fully.
This story is easy to follow and written from both points of view, which helps a lot to understand Nate and Essie better.
We get to know both of them through the series (Torronto Terror and Tilton University).
I could relate well to both and get all the feeks. I cried (more or less silently) and laughed a lot (most times too loud for the crowd) while reading interactions between Essie and Nate. They're just another level of tease, and the chemistry is high.
I love every single page but felt a little off guard in the end. I hoped for a little bit much, but I understand the end, especially because of all the other things around.
I cannot wait for the next book in line with that many hints left and right.
ebook:
It's easy to follow even for non native English readers. It is fluid and so fun between the lines.
audiobook:
The book is read in a duet by Teddy Hamilton for Nate's part and Savannah Peachwood for Essie.
The voices fit perfectly for Nate's and Essies characters, and they're easy to follow even for non native English readers. The narrators transmit so many emotion through their voices that I could just feel it without them even telling specifically. That's totally amazing.
conclusion:
It's a really great story with all the chemistry and pushing buttons for a wonderful love story.
book description:
The best man ghosted me six years ago after kissing me, and now I have to plan every wedding event under the sun with him.
Nate Stiles is the definition of serious.
Furrowed brow? Check.
Rain cloud personality? Double check.
I shouldnt be thinking about the fact that our kiss was the best one of my life right now. I should be planning the bachelorette party of the millennium.
I shouldnt be wondering when Nate became such a good dancer after we got roped into salsa lessons with the happy couple. I should be mentally ticking off boxes on my bridal checklists.
I shouldnt be wondering what it would be like if I didnt hate Nate Stiles. I should be holding strong against a man who doesnt believe in love.
My name is Essie Lovelock. I am a reformed love obsessed fairytale fanatic and Im determined to be the best maid of honor my best friend could ever have.
And I am absolutely not going to fall for the best man.
Tropes:
grumpy/sunshine, second chance romance
Info:
I received an advanced reader and listen copy from the author and through the audiobook provider via Netgalley. This has not influenced my opinion.
This book is a standalone but is interconnected with the Toronto Terror Series and the Tilton University Series.
Just be aware that there are a lot of Cameos from that both series and from Kodi & Lavender, and side information while reading it.
