Celine and Luke are getting married, and they're pretty happy about it. Until Luke goes missing from his own engagement party, and Celine catches him on a pretty big lie. Over the next year, we follow bridesmaid Phoebe, Best Man Archie and wedding guest Vivian as the wedding day draws nearer, but will it end up in 'I do'.

This book is basically if you ignore every red flag a guy is waving at you, can you really expect a different outcome than utter catastrophe? Despite some of the awkward moments, the gross lack of communication from people (despite there being some serious topics to discuss), and some casual drug taking, I thought this book was really good. I basically read the entire thing in a day, as even though the book technically takes place over 2 years, it feels like only a day as it's very fast-paced and easy to read.

I loved the sexual fluidity in this book - a majority of the characters were queer and the only one who wasn't - Luke's friend Shawn - didn't get his own POV as he was the boring one. Luke was basically a bit of an avid dater (though not so good with actual commitment) so his two best friends, Archie and Vivian, are also his exes while Celine's last serious relationship was with a woman who finally taught her the magic of a vibrator.

For those out there who hate books were if the characters just talked to each other, everything would be resolved, this one might not be for you. As the characters are all just really good at bottling things in and hoping if they don't say anything, everything will be just fine despite a poison slowly festering away between them all.

Luke's entire character actually reminded me a lot of the movie About Adam, and yes, he was Adam. It almost felt like whiplash going from Celine's POV to her thoughts about Luke, to Luke's and seeing what he was really thinking about everything and knowing he wasn't so much of a great guy, was a serial cheater and worst of all was so aware of everything he was doing but just too much of a coward to figure it out.

I really loved Celine's sister Phoebe in this and thought she was a stand-out character but one we really didn't have enough time with. She kind of barrel-rolled into the story, breaking things left, right and center, and coming up fighting but charming all at the same time. I feel like I know people like Phoebe in real life, and they're the type of people that are just an utter breath of fresh air in a room of office drones and civil servants and will always bring some colour to the party.

I just had a fun time reading this and would recommend. I think this would be a great plane/holiday read as you can just get stuck in and you have to keep turning those pages until before you realise you're finished!
