Thank you to Avon and Harper Audio for gifting me review copies of The Wedding Crasher by Mia Sosa.
This was our new-release pick for Literary Devices Book Club this month and I can't wait to discuss it with everyone!
I read The Worst Best Man right before diving into this one, and oh this series is just so good! Hilarious, sweet, dynamic characters that you'll feel like you know in real life by the time you turn the last page.
Solange Pereira is helping out her cousin (Carolina from the first book) with a wedding when she overhears the bride-to-be in the stairwell with someone who is definitely not the groom. She should probably mind her business, but she can't help but say something...during the ceremony.
Dean Chapman is a planner. He values stability above all else, and his marriage of convenience was going to be just what he needed to move to the next stage of his life. At least, he thought it was, until this stranger ruins their big day.
With his wedding ruined, he becomes the object of office gossip and his chances of making partner seem to be on the rocks. He needs to turn this whole situation around, so he enlists Solange to pretend to be his serious girlfriend...it's the least she could do really.
The more time they spend together the more they realize that their perspectives and plans for the future may not actually be serving them. But is it too late to give this relationship a real try?
I loved both Dean and Solange so much, along with all the amazing supporting characters too. I can't wait to read more by Mia Sosa!
The audiobook was so so good as well, and is narrated by Rebecca Mozo (who also narrated The Worst Best Man) and Alastair Haynesbridge (who was a new-to-me narrator). It comes in at 11 hours and 15 minutes, and if you're an audiobook fan you'll adore this one! You can download the audiobook here, or get a physical copy via the button below.
Synopsis:
Just weeks away from ditching DC for greener pastures, Solange Pereira is roped into helping her wedding planner cousin on a random couple’s big day. It’s an easy gig... until she stumbles upon a situation that convinces her the pair isn’t meant to be. What’s a true-blue romantic to do? Crash the wedding, of course. And ensure the unsuspecting groom doesn’t make the biggest mistake of his life.
Dean Chapman had his future all mapped out. He was about to check off “start a family” and on track to “make partner” when his modern day marriage of convenience went up in smoke. Then he learns he might not land an assignment that could be his ticket to a promotion unless he has a significant other and, in a moment of panic, Dean claims to be in love with the woman who crashed his wedding. Oops.
Now Dean has a whole new item on his to-do list: beg Solange to be his pretend girlfriend. Solange feels a tiny bit bad about ruining Dean’s wedding, so she agrees to play along. Yet as they fake-date their way around town, what started as a performance for Dean’s colleagues turns into a connection that neither he nor Solange can deny. Their entire romance is a sham... there’s no way these polar opposites could fall in love for real, right?
