I also didn’t like that there was no talk of any healthy healing of said trauma, just that the partner Audrey ends up with wanted her to tell them about it and that’s where the discussion of it ends. She always delivers a true, laugh-out-loud, romcom with a ton of depth, and Audrey may be my favourite heroine. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. in this cynical world, isn���t there something wonderful about the pure, unbridled optimism of marriage?

Some of the situations in the novel are definitely over the top (the airplane LOL), but I laughed so hard and loved the different pop culture references (Gone with the Wind for the win! She questions everything including her parent's not so perfect relationship and even if she deserves to be loved.this story explored themes of fate, friendship, grief, soulmates, and what it means to find “the one”.

The two had a magical meet-cute at a photo booth and spent one incredible day together before losing touch for good.She showed then, and again with this one, that she knows how to both embrace and poke fun at the tropes so prevalent in this genre, which led to some fun meta moments. But as I went on reading I realized that Josh was actually the best male character I have read in a while. As bad omen after bad omen begin to unfold before the wedding, including the sudden reappearance of Fred, all but professing his love, Audrey must decide who it is she’s meant to be with and deal with the obstacles standing in her way.

Though they are polar opposites, they have a healthy, stable relationship; Josh is just what Audrey needs. I would have probably opened a bottle of champagne after the dead bat incident (you have to read it).Outside of her mother's multiple marriages, she's still reeling from an incident when she was a young woman which left her feeling guilty. It starts out in the prologue with something going wrong at Audrey and Josh’s wedding and immediately caught my attention.
