I do what any jilted bride would do in my situation—escape to Hawaii with my best friend for my nonrefundable honeymoon…and pretend we’re married.
My happily ever after takes a nosedive when my fiance dumps me at the altar for his ex. So instead of toasting to marital bliss, I plan on drowning my sorrows in tequila. And instead of promising forever, he's promising I'll never have to see him again if I hand over the tickets to Hawaii. I can’t believe my ears at first when he tells me he wants to whisk his girlfriend away on what was supposed to be our romantic getaway. Talk about rubbing salt in the wound!
But when life hands you a lime, you put it in a coconut.
Licking my wounds in paradise was the last thing I wanted to think about in my dispirited condition, but now I have a perfectly good reason to go—so he can’t.
Enter Holden Santos, the guy who's seen me through braces, bad haircuts and questionable fashion choices and miraculously stuck around. Now we’re rocking wedding rings, snuggling in a king-sized bed at a luxury resort and playing doting newlyweds as we sip cocktails by the pool. Piece of cake, right?
Until we share a kiss for appearances, that’s so explosive, it reignites feelings I thought were long buried. The butterflies that once fluttered in my stomach during algebra class awaken with a vengeance.
Now I’m at a crossroads. Do I lock away my feelings like the letters I never sent him one year at summer camp? Or do I take the leap, risking it all to lay my heart bare, knowing the consequence could be losing him—the man who’s become my everything, my confidant, my anchor—forever?

MY REVIEW
When Maddie's dumped at the altar, and her now ex tries to convince her to give him the honeymoon (that her parents paid for) so he can take it with his new girlfriend, Maddie does what she has to - take her best friend with her instead. Only now she and Holden are stuck faking (not really) a romantic relationship, sharing a bed, and falling in love. But once back in the real world, can they make it work?
Friends to lovers can be iffy for my tastes. Thankfully Holden and Maddie don't suffer from this. They have great chemistry with the ease and familiarity that only longtime friends have, the love that neither had acknowledged to each other previously, and both individually and as a couple, they're both awesome characters. Though this is the first I've read by this author, it definitely will not be the last now that I've fallen in love with Maddie and her best friend Holden.
