Wow! Just wow…this book is my favorite book for July and definitely a top contender for the year! I absolutely loved everything about this book. And the cover - so gorgeous!
This book is full of banter and spice! I was pulled in from the very beginning. I love this book couple!!! Ama & Elliot had a chemistry that exploded off the pages. This book has several laugh out loud moments with the perfect balance of ! I absolutely love dual POVs and with Elliots POV starting in the past moving to present day helping fill in blanks from Ama’s POV it was the chefs kiss.
Ama is a wedding planner really just starting out and she scores a big wedding for a social media influencer. She has such great plans for this wedding but none of them included working with Elliot Bloom - a highly regarded florist who is also Ama’s ex-boyfriend. This wedding could make or break Ama’s career so she has to put her big girl panties on and get to plan a superstar wedding! Elliot is a talented florist/designer who is grouchy where most people are concerned but Ama caught his eye and she very well could be the one that got away.
Ok so Ama was a little annoying to me at times BUT Elliot completely made up for that. Grumpy yet a complete cinnamon roll when it comes to Ama. Plus he has some amazing tattoos! I adored how Elliot really came through for her when it was really needed. The wedding settings were delightful - I enjoyed visualizing these events coming together. The cast of side characters were a fun, diverse bunch…most of them anyhow.
I absolutely LOVED the ending! I would definitely put this book on my re-read list (which I don’t typically re-read). What a fabulous debut novel that was a pleasant surprise! I look forward to reading any future books by Julie.
This is a perfect summer read!!!
