London is the Best City in America by Laura Dave

5.0

On the eve of her brother's wedding, Emmy takes her brother Josh on a road trip to determine if he wants to get married at all. They had always been close, but Emmy realizes that there's probably more to Josh than she thought. Meanwhile, she's dealing with the memories of her own failed engagement (don't worry. I'm not spoiling anything), and the remnants of her life, which she doesn't think are so bad, thank you very much.

But life-truths are realized, as they always are, and Emmy realizes that none of them is really who she thought they were. I really enjoyed her final epiphany because, GOD, that's me. So much. I really loved all most of the characters, especially Josh and his friend Berenger (sorry for spelling; I listened to the audiobook). I wish there was more Berenger. It was fun, and heartfelt, and I almost did cry at one point, which is what tipped my rating from a 4 to 4.5, which tipped it to a 5. It wasn't perfect. Probably not my favorite book I've ever read. But I liked it. A lot.
