Publisher Description
You are cordially invited to the wedding of Emma Moskowitz and...someone...
When couples’ therapist Emma Moskowitz is unceremoniously dumped by her fiancé six months before their wedding, her world comes crashing down: her thriving practise, status as a trusted online creator, even her book deal all hinge on the fact that Emma is an expert when it comes to relationships and mental health. Not to mention the pain of a broken heart now interfering with her daily life.
But...if she could find a new groom by the wedding day, life could continue as she anticipated. After all, she’s ready to get married. And she’s never believed in The One anyway.
Her groom search catches the attention of podcast host, Will, who offers to chronicle Emma’s story on a new show. Emma and Will hit it off instantly...it’s really too bad Will doesn’t want to be married.
Soon Emma’s set up with Matt, a kind, incredibly handsome, recently divorced man. Emma and Matt connect easily, proving her theory that Mr. Right doesn’t need to bring butterflies to her stomach and fireworks at every kiss. Hers and Matt’s relationship is simple and comfortable — and more importantly, he wants to be married.
As the wedding date nears, Emma starts to question if she and Matt are as good a match as they think. Matt references his ex-wife a lot. And he doesn’t seem to understand Emma’s sense of humour that much. But the wedding is around the corner, and so many people are counting on Emma to see her plan through: her editor, her followers...even Will.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Raskin (Overthinking About You) charms in this modern marriage of convenience romance. Los Angeles couples' therapist and popular YouTuber Emma Moskowitz is caught off guard when her perfect fiancé dumps her six months before the wedding. Distraught over the end of her relationship, embarrassed that she can't fulfill her own "couple goals," and eager not to lose her deposits, Emma creates Operation: Save My Date, a mission to find a new groom to marry at the wedding she's already planned. All she needs is a willing partner who gets that it's not time that decides a relationship's success, it's compatibility. After a few duds, Emma meets podcast producer Will, who is not onboard to be her groom, but does want to record her efforts for his podcast. It's a fun premise and Raskin does a great job surrounding Emma with a wacky cast and realistically depicting the challenges of modern dating. Sparkling dialogue, plentiful humor, and a heavy dose of Emma's couple's counselor wisdom make this a treat.
