Other People's Weddings, Maisey Yates

Story Blurb

If Poppy Love could just avoid Ryan Clark, her life would be fine.

The brooding photographer hated her on sight when they met at twelve years old, and the feeling is mutual. And yet somehow he's always . . . there: Poppy's first wedding as a cake designer, the second wedding when a bear ate her cake, and then there was the fifth wedding when. . . well, it's probably best not to mention it, actually.

Now her best friend is getting married and moving to the other side of the world. And as if that impossible heartbreak wasn't awful enough, Poppy, as Maid of Honor, is about to be stuck with Ryan for the whole wedding trip to New Zealand, because of course he's the Best Man.

Perhaps it's time to finally call a truce. Or perhaps it's time Poppy admitted the heat between them isn't truly hate, at all...

My Thoughts/Opinion

This was my first Maisey Yates book and I LOVED it!! Oh my gosh. I have slept on her for way too long. Poppy and Ryan, their backstory, their chemistry, their banter. Swoon City. It was a perfect poolside listen. Other people's reviews of the written version say that the writing is choppy and fragmented, but as an audiobook I didn't encounter any of those "on the page" issues and had a great experience!

Favorite Quote:

"Love is scary. It's Shark Week, Ryan. Maybe that's why we're all so fascinated by it. You can't care about something or someone with the whole of your being and not risk something. Because the idea of losing something that means everything to you is scary."
