Publisher Description
From a New York Times bestselling author and TheBachelorette fan-favorite, two sworn enemies are forced to play nice while on a roadtrip to find a missing bride, in this"fun, fast, epic rom-com" (Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of Just for the Summer).
Emma Townsend can sum up her situationship with hot-as-hell romantic red flag Finn Hughes in one word: almost. They almost dated in high school. They almost hooked up after college. They almost took things too far one magical night. Their whole story is one series of “almosts” and “nearlys,” and now they just kind of can’t stand each other. But this weekend, one of their mutuals is getting married . . . and Emma and Finn will have to pretend they don’t remember how disastrous it was the last time they were in a room together. Emma’s doing a stellar job of playing it cool—until the bride goes missing.
Now, with two days before the wedding, Emma and Finn are hitting the road in a sweet vintage sports car in hopes of salvaging someone else’s happily-ever-after. Yet somewhere between Emma’s breakfast burrito throw down, a high-stakes kayak chase (it can happen), and an outrageous Vegas detour, these sworn enemies are crossing more than just state lines.
As old feelings spark once more, Emma begins to question whether risking your heart is ever really a mistake.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Brown, star of the 2019 season of The Bachelorette and author of the bestselling memoir God Bless This Mess, teams up with Larrabee for a perfectly delightful summer romance. Type A Emma Townsend has a habit of stage-directing her best friends' lives, a by-product of having to step into adult roles after her father deserted her family when she was eight. She's determined to see her bestie Sybil's destination wedding in Malibu go off without a hitch—but she's thrown off guard by the appearance of her high school debate partner, Finn Hughes. After Finn stood her up for prom, Emma swore never to get involved with him again, only to encounter him twice more over the years: once at another wedding, and once over a "magical night" on a rooftop in New York City. Both meetings ended in disaster and solidified Emma's hate for Finn. When Sybil turns runaway bride, however, it's down to Emma and Finn to track her down, a task that turns into a raucous, misadventure-filled road trip to Las Vegas. Could the timing finally be right for this star-crossed duo? Readers will fall hard for Emma and Finn, as well as the charming supporting characters, especially flighty Sybil. A subplot about Emma reckoning with her father adds emotional heft. Swoony, sunny, and thoroughly satisfying, this is the ideal beach read.
