Synopsis

Sometimes true love takes a little heavy lifting""The most hilarious disaster bisexuals you’ll ever meet.” —Dahlia Adler, Buzzfeed BooksThis irresistible adult debut from beloved YA author Jennifer Dugan is a queer romcom for fans of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care and Written in the Stars, in which a gym employee accidentally ruins her bosses’ daughter’s wedding, then even more accidentally falls for the runaway bride...The gym is Lizzie’s life—it’s her passion, her job, and the only place that’s ever felt like home. Unfortunately, her bosses consider her a glorified check-in girl at best, and the gym punching bag at worst.When their son, Lizzie’s best friend, James, begs her to be his plus one at his perfect sister Cara’s wedding, things go wrong immediately, and culminate in Lizzie giving a drunken pep talk to a hot stranger in the women’s bathroom—except that stranger is actually the bride-to-be, and Lizzie has accidentally convinced her to ditch her groom.Now, newly directionless Cara is on a quest to find herself, and Lizzie—desperate to make sure her bosses never find out her role in this fiasco—gets strong-armed by James into “entertaining” her. Cara doesn’t have to know it’s a setup; it’ll just be a quick fling before she sobers up and goes back to her real life. After all, how could someone like Cara fall for someone like Lizzie, with no career and no future?But the more Lizzie gets to know Cara, the more she likes her, and the bigger the potential disaster if any of her rapidly multiplying secrets get out. Because now it’s not just Lizzie’s job and entire future on the line, but also the girl of her dreams.

I straight up did not have a good time. James sucks. Cara sucks. My girl Lizzie needs therapy and new friends. Thank you netgalley but this one was not for me.......more

Goodreads review by Creya on July 06, 2023

This book started off strong, but I had a hard time staying invested after the halfway mark. While I laughed a lot at first, the drama inevitably ensued. The third act breakup was a little much for me, as both women assumed the other did not want to talk and essentially ran from her problems. I did......more

2/5 Thank you Pride Book Tours for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review. I really wanted to love this. I adore reading, promoting and talking about sapphic books with all my heart, however this one just missed the mark for me. Unfortunately, I couldn't connect to any of the charact......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on January 07, 2023

I wanted to love this so much but ultimately, this felt just ok.

Truly I just wanted BETTER t......more
