The Set Up: When Sophie discovers her fiancé has been cheating on her, she and her friend decide her only option is to have someone object at the wedding with the proof. Max is a professional “objector,” rescuing people from doomed marriages. Sophie is in awe of this, and the two begin to work together, going from wedding to wedding to object. Both fairly cynical about love and relationships, they’re sure they can keep their relationship professional and platonic, but their natural chemistry says otherwise.
No one is writing banter like Lynn Painter!! Everything I’ve read from her has dialogue that is so fun and quick and flirty. It’s chefs kiss
I flew through this book, it’s pretty fast paced and an easy read. Starting the story with Sophie literally at the alter hooked me right from the start, and I thought the concept of professional wedding objectors was so unique and fun.
The friendship between Sophie and Max felt so natural and easy. Sophie’s roommates were such a fun addition, too. It was a fun twist that her best friends in the city weren’t actually her age but much older.
Thanks to Netgalley & Berkley for the advanced e-book!
