This book kind of wandered all over for me, without any clear path. We follow a young man with an apparent alcohol problem who finds himself married to a stranger after a night of binge drinking. He flees before confronting the stranger, but we find out fairly quickly who it is, and they sort of bumble around each other following the classic sitcom "lets not communicate like adults" method of conflict resolution. The characters had their moments, there were some cute quirks and funny moments, but all over it felt very forced and unbelievable.

Pretty good love triangle novel (which I don’t usually go for). It kept me guessing and speculating what was going to happen. 

One GLARING hole in the story…wtf is with Trevors bag of tricks…zip ties? A sewing kit? Is he planning to kidnap someone or is he just the Mom of his friend group?
