Special thanks to the author, bookouture & netgalley for my advanced copy.

This was an okay read pretty much gives the same vibe you’d get from a fake dating trope it’s just a marriage. I think that’s apart of why I wanted to read it. What are the odds of you winning your dream wedding right after being cheated on and dumped ? I was curious to know how things would end figured it might be something predictable. In some ways it kind of was but that didn’t take away from anything.

Beatrice did annoy me a bit because she was an over-thinker and it caused her to become overwhelmed by everything and I found her a little selfish at times. Now choosing to go through with having a wedding without having a husband wasn’t the insane part. It was her reaching back out to the cheating ex basically asking if he’d consider marrying her. She was beyoooond desperate for that like come on.

Of course he declined but that didn’t stop Bea from seeking out other options. Next in line was work bae Andrew. Going from someone she couldn’t stand or at least pretending she couldn’t to being her new love interest was a disaster within itself. I knew that situationship wasn’t going to work. Can’t really say who I hated more her ex Ray or work bae Andrew by the end.

All of her relationships lacked passion and chemistry just a lot of forced situations. I did like that it didn’t end with her actually getting married that would‘be been to predictable but she still got a happily ever after.

I feel this could have been a great story but it may have fell a little flat because the author wasn’t descriptive enough when it was needed. I couldn’t really paint a vivid picture of the scenes or envision her characters because it was all so vague.

Overall, it was a decent read so I’d recommend if you’re into the rom-com faking date trope.
