Summary:
Elsie Hoffman has been engaged to her college boyfriend for a year and a half. Ginny Holtz has been in love with Elsie for almost a decade and a half.
When Elsie discovers her fiance already planned their wedding and honeymoon as a surprise and she's expected to be in a white dress in seven days, she swiftly realizes that she's let herself become too comfortable with a future she never wanted. She breaks things off and a week later is on a plane to the Caribbean for her nonrefundable honeymoon with her best friend Ginny instead.
Ginny thinks it's high time Elsie learned how to speak up for herself. So, they make a deal with her. For the next week, Elsie can have whatever she wants, wherever, however, and whenever she wants it, as long as she asks. They never expected Elsie to want them.
What starts as choosing activities and taking selfies soon turns to toe-curling kisses and much, much more. But what happens when the honeymoon is over?
My Thoughts:
This was a lot of fun and a nice breather to read. Ginny has been in love with Elsie since middle school, but when Elsie rejected her invite to the dance, Ginny hasn't brought it up since. When Elsie learns Derrick planned their wedding without asking her, she realizes she doesn't know what she wants. Derrick encourages her to go on the honeymoon trip with Ginny, since it is nonrefundable. But there, Elsie and Ginny acknowledge their feelings for each other, and after a fight, things are left uncertain.
The third act breakup was not needed and the reasoning was so stupid and made no sense. Why did Elsie care so much that Ginny quit their job? I do like that Ginny ended up starting their own business and that Elsie went forward with rebranding her father's store before they make up though. They definitely needed the break from each other to follow what they wanted to do. I also enjoyed the spicy scenes.
My Rating: 3 stars
