Goodreads: An epic coastal road-trip gives two lifelong rivals a second chance at love in this debut novel from The Bachelorette star and New York Times bestselling author Hannah Brown.
Two former debate team champions who almost fell in love years ago are now stuck together on one wild wedding weekend. When bridesmaid Emma first sees groomsman Finn, she’s reminded of all the mistakes she almost made with him—the date, the party, the kiss, that one night on the rooftop in New York. Each ended in heartbreak, and she would have been happy never to see Finn again.
But when the bride runs away, and both Emma and Finn are tasked with bringing her home in time to walk down the aisle, they end up on a whirlwind road trip down memory lane… and might just fall in love along the way.
Ope’s Opinion: There was too much crammed into the three or four days before this wedding. There was a road trip, a missing bride and so many dysfunctional relationships going on all at the same time.
Then there were flashbacks to fill you in on all the relationships, centering around Emma and Finn. They were so frustrating – if they had only communicated honestly with each other, so many misunderstandings could have been avoided. It did not create the kind of angst that made me want them to be together.
Poof – the ending – road trip is done, no questions answered – Why did the bride go missing? Where did she go? Did she get married? All of a sudden everyone is happy and all their relationships are healed. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for a happily ever after, but this one gave me whip lash.
