For those of you following along on my Reading Rush progress this weekend and all of my reading sprints, it is of no surprise to you that I read this ENTIRE book this week… outside… during a heat wave.
I was so excited to get this ARC because the premise was too good to pass up. We have Annie whose fiance breaks up with her at the last minute (OVER TEXT) then tries to have his brand new fiancee wear her dress and use the same venue. What the actual heck?! We also have a commitment-aphob who surprises everyone by showing up at his house while it’s rented out on airbnb with all the baggage he brings with him!
I loved the family dynamics with 3 dads. One quote really stuck out to me, “She’s as much my kid as if she were biologically mine. Loving someone more would be virtually impossible.” As a stepmom, I really related to that quote and the minefield of navigating life coparenting with others!
I loved that Annie joined a cooking group called “Pho Shizzle” (just my type of humor) and that she was able to learn more about her biological culture as a result after being raised by jewish parents as an asian woman.
I loved that the book was set in RI, but honestly not a single thing happened that made it feel like RI. I would’ve loved a nod to something unique in the area, but I digress.
I extra loved the post-its notes being left between Annie and Emmitt as well as how they were visually represented throughout the pages.
This book is going to be out in the world TOMORROW. I’d love to hear your thoughts once you pick it up.
