Kristen Petersen doesn't do drama, will fight to the death for her friends, and has no room in her life for guys who just don't get her. She's also keeping a big secret: facing a medically necessary procedure that will make it impossible for her to have children.
Planning her best friend's wedding is bittersweet for Kristen—especially when she meets the best man, Josh Copeland. He's funny, sexy, never offended by her mile-wide streak of sarcasm, and always one chicken enchilada ahead of her hangry. Even her dog, Stuntman Mike, adores him. The only catch: Josh wants a big family someday. Kristen knows he'd be better off with someone else, but as their attraction grows, it's harder and harder to keep him at arm's length.
You know what I think the trick to dealing with family is?... Marrying your best friend... You marry your best friend, and at family gatherings you deal with your shitty relatives together. You laugh about it and have each other's backs. Share looks and text each other from across the room when everyone else is being an asshole. And nobody else really matters because you have your own universe.
I'm a sucker for friends-to-lovers stories, and this one hit me in all the right places. Kristen and Josh's chemistry was undeniable--fun and playful, but also with that underlying heart-fluttering tension. They connected emotionally and in their senses of humour.
I didn't love the end and I started getting annoyed at Kristen's stubbornness, but overall I loved this story. A solid contemporary romance for the summer (or any season).
