Sharon M Peterson is my favourite romcom author, she'll make you laugh, cry and swoon. If you havn't read anything by her yet... What are you waiting for?
Synopsis
He’s the only person who can give me a ride to my brother’s wedding, and he’s also the one man I absolutely CANNOT have feelings for. My brother’s best friend is strictly off limits… Isn’t he?
I should have known my mom would go totally overboard packing for my brother’s big day. But much like my last break-up, I’d been optimistic (in denial) that it would all work out for me. Now, I can’t fit into the car. “Don’t worry,” my brother says, “I asked Theo to give you a ride.”
I flush all over and almost drop my phone. This is a BIG problem.
With his neatly trimmed stubble, fierce protectiveness and an affinity for plaid shirts rivalled only by his love of hiking, I’ve always had a crush on Theo. As a teenager, I’d even declared my feelings in a tragically bad poem. The rejection almost ended our friendship, and I’ll be taking that crippling embarrassment to my grave.
He’s the last person I want to be alone with on a six-day road trip; especially since I swore off men after my last relationship went up in flames. It would be a terrible idea anyway; he only sees me as his best friend’s little sister.
But as we fight over the playlist and are forced to share a night together when his car dies, it’s not distance that makes my heart grow fonder, it’s close proximity. Two thousand miles of flirting has my heart racing in the fast lane. Is it all in my head, or does Theo feel the same?
Will this be our second chance to go the distance, or will everything blow up in my face in the middle of my brother’s wedding?
My Review
This one is a difficult one to review without giving away too many spoilers!
Ali is amazing. Her personality shines through, she's hilarious, and her love of revenge pranks had me rolling.
Theo's secret that Ali discovers is seriously one of the best secrets I have read in a long time, and her guesses regarding the secret were very amusing 😅
Ali's long lost brother and another secret just added something sweet and endearing to the book- I want more of them! 😉
Alec is a 'juice canoe'. I want to wring his damn neck- side, note juice canoe is a new favourite term in my vocabulary.
A character from a previous book appears as a cameo character, and I still adore them.
And Oh lordie, the drama, I loved every moment.
The ending was perfect, I love how Theo sees her, respects her and embraces her Ali quirks. My new book boyfriend is Theo- sorry Chris.
AUTHOR BIO
Sharon M. Peterson is a former middle school teacher and has the personality to prove it. One of her favorite quotes is from Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath: “It was her habit to build up laughter out of inadequate materials.” She strives to tackle life that way and create characters who do the same. Her first book, The Do-Over, was called "pure delight" by bestselling author Kristan Higgins. It's slated to be translated into three languages (which is two more than she knows how to speak). Her second book, The Fake Out, released in July 2023 and is chockfull of really cheesy pick-up lines. She lives in Washington with her husband, and four children, including two autistic sons. She has one cat, two dogs, one tattoo, and an intense fear of poodles (don’t ask). Sharon can usually be found hunched over her computer, creating characters and stories she hopes you’ll love as much as she does.
