Cute, quick read. I'm a sucker for a book involving the wedding planning business as I worked in it for years and it just brings back a lot of nostalgia. There were quite a few things that I liked about this book originally—the Jewish representation and how the main character had OCD being two of the main points that come to mind as I haven't read too many —but as the book went on, I started finding things that made me not enjoy the books as much which is there the docked stars come in. First off, the pacing was slightly off at some times, it made it so it was hard to push through some parts.

My biggest issue though was the questionable Muslim representation. (I preface this by saying I am NOT Muslim, therefore I can’t say what is and isn’t good representation, however I also know the author is not Muslim, which is why I will be critiquing this). While I enjoyed the sex-positive aspect of this book, it felt strange that the Muslim love interest is depicted as having sex, with two separate people as well. He engaged in a ‘friends with benefits’ arrangement with the main character. While I’m not Muslim myself, this stood out to me, and as I read some online reviews, I saw this as an issue for other readers as well.

All in all, I did end up enjoying the book, I just had a few, issues so to speak.
