I didn't really like JJ in this book. All she did was cry about how her and Philip weren't meant to be together but she knew he was the one, but then again she's having weird dreams where her wedding goes wrong an she doesn't want to marry him now. Then she realizes she can't live without him... I kind of wanted to put the book down half way through, and it was a real struggle to get through it. If there was less complaining on JJ's part, the book would have been better.

The book was ok. It seemed to be going ok, and then JJ started getting on my nerves and being the biggest bitch ever! By the end, she was ok again; but, if I were Phillip, with how she treated him, I would have ditched her a long time ago!

I took one star off for excessive intimacy talk. But loved it otherwise!

I wasn't as big of a fan of THAT WEDDING as I was of THAT BOY mainly because of JJ. I felt that at times her maturity level was SO LOW for someone who.was getting married. Philip puts up with so much and is so good to JJ. And yes I realize her behavior stems from her past and what she hasn't dealt with yet, but her actions just scream immaturity. My heart broke for her when she finally does realize what everything stems from and I was so happy she finally explores her past.

If you follow my reviews you'll know I'm a fan of the friends to lovers trope in romances, so you can guess that I enjoyed all the relationship discovery scenes between Philip and JJ.

Wow this book was sexy! It was as good as 'That Boy', if not better and was definitely worth the wait.
As soon as I got the message from the sweet author Jillian Dodd telling me that it was available, I just started reading and just couldn't put it down.

I really missed Jadyn and the guys, with all her witty and sarcasm. But here we see another side of Jadyn, because she's going through an emotional roller coaster, that involves love, friendship, happiness, fear, insecurities, everything happens so fast that Jadyn is lost. But our most swoon worthy boy is there to help her, i can honestly say that I just fell in love with Philip, he's even more perfect in this book than in the first one, and I didn't even think that was possible. Oh God please give me a Philip and I promise that I'll be a good girl!!!

I loved every part of the book, it made me laugh, cry and even blush! Well what can I say Jadyn's sexy ideas was just incredible! Chocolate and whipped cream was just hilarious!

If want to fall in love with a book, definitely read this one, because it's worth every word. I felt like Jadyn was a friend telling me her story and that felling is just amazing, only good books can do that!

After I finished I just wanted more, so let's hope there's a third book, because I'll certainly need more Jadyn and Phillip in my life!

I liked it alright, it was as surprising as the first one and I definitely didn't read it in such a record time but it was good. it made me laugh, cry, cringe, love the characters and think they had messed up....the actual wedding was gorgeous and if I could get married again and had. great budget then I would go hire Amy, the wedding planner :) all the details were beyond perfect and J.J' s parents were present in every step of the way which is bot beautiful and heart breaking.
What I didn't like was that there were confusing things, there is this part when the characters are having breakfast in bed and she said she was absolutely naked but then she says she takes her nighty off which is not possible, or the fact that something happened at work an it was never discussed further, a in her project going to progress or Patrick's father opinion....the ending was cool but left some things unsaid.
All in all it is a great story with very realistic situations and loving, caring, awesome characters.

The super off the top shelf book made me laugh out loud.
