Once again, Meghan Quinn had me rolling with laughter throughout this hilarious and perfect fake marriage rom-com. I basically started this book on a lunch break at work. A day I had chosen to sit in my car and read. Well, there just so happened to be someone in the car next to where I was parked, and I’m guessing they were wondering what in the world was so funny. If they’d have asked, I’d have just told them, Meghan Quinn.

First, the wedding, I mean starting with the scene leading up to the wedding starting. Not to mention Sloane’s tendency to ramble whenever she was nervous or unsure of what to do or say. The hilariously inappropriate things that came out of her mouth in those instances had me in tears at some points in the story. This was a grumpy-sunshine story as well. Boy was Hudson a grump. But as Sloane mentioned, he wasn’t like that when she met him in Bora-Bora at the beginning of the series. However from what Hudson was dealing with his father’s retaliation to him, his brother, and his sister’s businesses, it was easy to see why he felt the way he did.

Normally his stubbornness is the type of things that irritates me in a story, but the way he dealt with it. The emotional anguish he was in at the end of the story, and the way Sloane knew what the real issue was and what she should try to do to help him, those things saved me from feeling that way. In the end, all the family had to think about things and figure out what was really needed for everyone to be happy and to have fair treatment. Even Sloane and her brother Jude had issues that needed working out.

Now, let’s talk about all the hilarious things in this story that I had to take note of. First, if you read the book, that etiquette lesson, oh my gosh, so unexpected and hilarious! Some of the terms or phrases that Sloane came up with, one I want to use all the time: the motherest of all fuckers. Still laughing every time I read or say it. Foods and nudes. Gum balls. Ostriching – a term I hadn’t really thought of before. And oh my gosh, the whole day of proposals in London. And it wasn’t just Sloane with the funny slip-ups, her sister had a good one too: “Did I say Hudson? I meant Hoo-done. It’s something all the kids are saying these days.”

Another winner from Meghan Quinn. Still giggling whenever I think of certain scenes in this book!
