My Best Friend's Honeymoon by Meryl Wilsner
4.0

The set up of this book is so fun. Elsie has been engaged for a while, and her fiancé decides to plan their entire wedding and schedule it for a week later. It's the wake up call she needs that this isn't the route for her, but the (now ex) fiancé insists that she still goes on the honeymoon but instead takes her best friend Ginny. Who has been in love with Elsie for years.

As mentioned, the setup was great. It was also interesting getting glimpses of the friendship (and crushes) over the years. Also loved the rep of a non-binary lesbian lead. The biggest frustration was the way the miscommunication trope played out - including the immaturity of reactions to it.

This book gets very spicy, and some of the scenes might not be for everyone. But that's something those of us who read spicy romance should expect - we don't have to want the same things the characters do!

I definitely enjoyed this one, but I think I was disappointed is that I'd anticipated a new absolute favourite.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free digital copy. All thoughts are my own.
