Review: This was a really interesting use of multiple timelines for the story. I think it worked well for what it was, but I can’t say that it was my favorite way to read a romance story. I’m interested to see what the set up for her next book is like.

This was a cute read! Loved the floriograohy notes in it and how the story progresses. I don’t love the ending but I do appreciate the character growth. It deff seems like the author did her research too on what wedding planners have to deal with. Just a nice quick read!

Oh my! I enjoyed this a lot! Yay! It's super chill and has all the great things I like about a story. This is also my first book from Julie, so I'll be reading all her stories soon. Ama is fun, crazy in a good way, and also relatable to me. I was super naïve when I was younger and always wanted to see the good in people, but some people didn't deserve it, like Ama to Whitney. I also liked the fact that Elliot narrated the past, while Ama talked about the present, and a bit of the past. This book inspired me to write better stories that people can enjoy. Anyway, the characters are pretty interesting, too. Laura, the ML's mom, the influencer bride, Ama's mom, and a pack of half-siblings. Of course, Ama doesn't want to commit because her mom married a lot, but is willing to reconsider for the right one. That's so romantic in so many ways. Thank you, Julie!

This was very cute, loved the wedding vibes. The couples were cute and I liked the side characters a lot as well. I wish it was just a little longer so there was more of some of the characters and relationships. It felt rushed at the end when that was what I wanted to see more of. It needed more resolution on some of Ama’s issues as well.
