And The Best Man Ran Away With The Groom


Who needs to read a book I've downloaded a few months ago when I can read a book I downloaded a few hours ago? Here's Isla Olsen's "And The Best Man Ran Away With The Groom."

["There are two essential tasks on every best man’s to do list:
1. Throw a killer bucks party
2. Get the groom down the aisle

The first one was a no-brainer. But the second? That’s where everything went completely pear-shaped…

That was the moment that changed my life…

When my best friend bails on his wedding literally minutes before it’s about to start, I can’t help feeling a tad responsible. And even though I haven’t gotten to know Xavier, the would-be-groom, all that well yet, it’s hard not to feel for the guy who’s just had his heart pummelled in front of a hundred and fifty people.

Nice guy that I am, I take it upon myself to try to make amends for my sh*t of a best mate’s actions—starting with transforming the cancelled honeymoon into the perfect Get-Over-Him getaway.

Two weeks in incredible Thailand with nothing but booze, beaches, and delicious food? That’s enough to make anyone forget they’re supposed to be married.

Throw in all the beautiful people and my plan to have Xavier moving on by the end of the trip is well underway.

I just wasn’t expecting him to be moving on to me…"]

This book was really cute!! Xavier was a little grumpy but always honest. Trent was super sunshiny and open to all possibilities. They just...worked together. It made sense. 

Unfortunately, for me, it was missing something. I don't know if it was too easy for them or if their characters didn't feel fully flushed or.. I don't know. It just wasn't 100%/5 stars for me this time. Still recommend though. ;)
