I was very excited to read this book. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
I devoured this book. I instantly connected with the main character Dom. I loved seeing his relationship with both the bride and the groom and the challenges he faced with his own romantic relationship.
When we first met Dom he is fresh off a broken engagement, but still trying to be there as the best man to his childhood friend Patrick, and a best friend to the bride. There's a lot of bad communication and toxic expectations in these relationships, but how each of the characters work through it gives this book a lot of heart.
I absolutely could not put this book down and definitely recommend it!
Really my only critique is the use of the word "spastic" to describe a way to dance. Please consider changing this word as many in the disability community see this word as a slur. If Lizzo can change this lyric in one of her songs, everyone should be able to remove it from their general vocabulary as well.

Ok, so I loved book five in this series, but this one, the one that's the start, I did not love. The MMC does way too many unforgivable things!! This is not sexy, it's gross. I can't even rate this.
It started out so great, why did it have to go to a place where the woman has her agency taken away?!?! Unforgivable.

I liked parts of this book, but it was disappointing. It has potential but didn't live up to it for me.
Would have probably given it more stars if it didn't spend so much time critiquing the bad behavior of those affected by a monstrous flood...
I liked how things revealed themselves through the book, but the long chapters made it really difficult to get through it all. And I am talking LONG AF chapters... I listened on audio, which helped. I doubt I'd have been able to finish this book if I'd read a physical copy...
