How many times did Elliot bring up Ama’s pebbling nip*les? 

An ambitious wedding planner who doesn’t believe in lasting marriages (her mother has had 16) and a grumpy florist have a messy breakup in the past as told through Elliot’s perspective. Years pass without having to interact until an influencer decides she wants them both to do her wedding as told through Ama’s pov. 

Talk about mommy issues…

After the 48% mark, it was overtaken by steamy scenes. Normally I am okay with that as I know that’s what I am getting into with an adult romance, but I just didn’t feel they had any emotional connection. It was just banging anywhere at any time with no talking. And in very unprofessional places. 

However, I do have to admit some of Elliot’s inner dialogue had me cackling. 

Emma sucks in air like a Disney princess waking up from a curse.

Did I just kill her with a peanut butter doughnut?

I read it due to the many, many recommendations, but I’m left feeling whether we read different books. 

I did this a a buddy read and honestly the best part was laughing about the narrators and how disappointed we were that this had so much potential and just led no where. 

A male florist? A wedding planner with ever after fears? A media storm coverage? Yet, I felt like none of these issues were properly addressed or developed.
