Bea is happily in a relationship when she enters a contest to win an amazing wedding venue for a DEEP discount. 3 months after her boyfriend cheats on her & breaks up with her, she is notified that she has won the wedding venue. She happily accepts the prize, pays the money - all the while being woefully single.

Definitely not a bad idea, right?

I was pulled into the story and love the writing style of the author. However, the only reason why I couldn’t put the book down is because it felt like a train accident that I had to watch just to see what happened.

Bea was immature, annoying, and hopeless. Her friend Lucy was over-dramatic and constantly acting like Bea was the worst friend in the world. Andrew was a conniving snake who was trouble from the very beginning. And Oliver? Maybe one of the only characters that I liked - except he did a horrible job at showing Bea just how much he liked her. The relationships between the characters were weird and didn’t feel relatable.

The only reason why I gave it three stars - Bea’s character development and the ending of the story. Bea’s character developed into someone who grew up, gained confidence, and seemed to actually think about the decisions that she was making. I really appreciated that instead of Bea & Oliver’s relationship going from 0-100, it was a little more realistic where they allowed it bloom beautifully.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC for my honest review!
