There's no greater feeling then when one of your highly anticipated books for the year is as good as you were hoping it to be.
There was something I really enjoyed about this book. It was very easy to read and I felt attached to the characters right away.
We following Ama, a wedding planner who lands the wedding of her dreams to plan and design. The only problem is, the florist is the one company she no longer works with. Ama has loved weddings since she was a kid, seeing as her mom has gotten married a whopping 16 times. While she loves to plan weddings for everyone else, she knew her future never included one.
The story follows and Now and Then format with alternating POVs of Ama's in the present and Elliot's in the past. I'm not going to lie, I almost enjoyed Elliot's POV even more so than I did Ama's. I loved seeing them come together and how all the "Ins" in Ama's POV were formed. I'm also just a sucker for a tattooed bad boy who is down bad for his girl, I'm easy that way. Ama's POVs were a little tougher for me to read, because I wanted almost more interaction between her and Elliot. I understand that everything between them was very stilted, but it made it hard to see them come back to one another when I felt like I didn't get to see that in her POVs? Like talking outside of the work scenes.
That being said, I really enjoyed this book. It was a light read that I absolutely devoured in one day. I cannot wait to see what Julie puts out next.
Thank you to Julie Soto, Forever, and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review
