About this deal

The slut-shaming and pitting women against women. This is the one that bothered me the most. There were dialogues and scenes that tried to show the characters being ahead of their time and showing feminist traits, but it all falls flat when it immediately follows scenes and dialogues that insult the other female characters excluding the heroine and her best friend. The female characters who aren't Franchesca and Pru are mean, vapid, and fake. I don't remember a female character apart from Francheska and Pru that have been described in a decent light. I even was in a mood for a ridiculous romance and plot (billionaire, insta-love, exotic locale, kidnapping... ) but could not go on with this book. My instinct told me to quit almost immediately: this is the second paragraph The 2nd half of the book is where it got good for me. Sometimes a book will have a strong beginning and a saggy middle. In this case, the middle and end were the best parts. I loved to read about how in love Aiden is with Frankie.

I didn't like a lot of her decisions. Yes, but they were not my decisions, and I still respected her. A wedding planner left at the altar? Yeah, the irony isn’t lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina’s offered an opportunity that could change her life. There’s just one hitch… she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials. The first 20% of the book was a mess. The whole wedding made me shake my head so much. I wasn't expecting to have that much drama at the guy who doesn’t want to fall in love cause he thinks it’s a weakness / girl who only wants someone who’s 100% in The Worst Best Man is about Frankie and Aiden, obviously.. since I already mentioned them. They meet at a wedding, where Frankie is the maid of honor for her best friend Pru's wedding. From this, she meets Aiden who is the best man for Chip. There are a bunch of spoiled rotten people in this wedding party, including Aiden.. but with Frankie's sass she made this wedding so enjoyable. Hell, the entire book she was my lovable spitfire girl. I want to grow up and be like her.Aiden and Frankie couldn't be more different. Aiden is a rich and successful businessman from Manhattan, and Frankie works full time, goes to grad school, and lives in Brooklyn. It's almost like two different worlds. The thing I loved best about Frankie is that she was always 100% herself. She was stubborn, had no filter, and told it like it was. Aiden is a strong hero also, just strong enough to handle her. I loved the two of them together. I laughed out loud several times. This was a swoony, sexy, and fun couple. Different story, very different heroine (not a typical virginal wallflower they sell us in every 2nd romance) and surprisingly slightly different hero.

Now moving on, I loved Frankie, and her brothers! This woman was a no nonsense superwoman. We need more woman like this and I know she isn't everyone's kind of woman. He meets with Solange to convince her for fake dating for a few work meetings to guarantee his partnership. Of course Solange accepts his offer to make it up for him. She still feels bad for ruining her wedding. Mia Sosa delivers a sassy, steamy #ownvoices enemies-to-lovers novel, perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Helen Hoang, and Sally Thorne! The groomsmen, in their Armani and Brioni, were overgrown frat boys destined to spend their lives reliving their prep school glory days. Their trust funds were cushy enough to buy their way out of any real trouble. Però la storia regge. La narrazione non ha sbavature, merito anche di una traduzione che conserva intatte freschezza e ironia. La Score ha il vizio di inserire sempre pagine su pagine di sesso pecoreccio, però si vede che intorno a lei chi è innamorato ci da dentro parecchio, quindi, compreso lo stile, ci si abitua.There are probably a dozen reasons why we shouldn’t even try. And maybe you can’t see yourself being with me. But I want you to know that if there’s any chance for us, I’ll take it.”

The Worst Best Man Mia Sosa on Tropes, Found Families, and The Worst Best Man

A captivating love story about two people who bring out the best in each other both professionally and personally. Frankie: "Not to worry, Margie. Your odds are still excellent for luring him into your Venus Fly Trap vag." A former First Amendment and media lawyer, Mia practiced for more than a decade before trading her suits for loungewear (read: sweatpants). Now she writes fun, flirty, and moderately dirty stories about imperfect characters finding their perfect match.

Well: the ideas of Solange and Dean’s adventurous dating journey were amazingly creative including accidentally finding themselves in sex party, getting listed for throwing axes, karaoke night which ends Dean’s singing Ginuwine’s Pony while he’s performing Magic Mike’s delicious moves ( okay, I admit this is the most entertaining and hottest parts of the book)

I think the P&P comparison was misplaced. This was nothing like P&P at all. The rom-com aspect was also debatable. I did not find this book funny at all. It's not my kind of humor. If you like The Hangover 3 type of humor then you'll probably enjoy this book. I wasn't a fan. Catfights and girls insulting each other was never funny to me. To a 12-year old boy, it'd probably be hilarious but not to me. I loved every moment of The Wedding Crasher!! Solange and Dean had this electric connection from the very start of the story. They played off each other and made each other better as the story unfolded. I laughed out loud numerous times as I read and it was just what I needed! The book introduces readers to both Lina’s family and Max’s. Where Lina’s family is warm and involved in each other’s lives, Max’s family is more distant from each other. How did you go about crafting each family’s unique dynamic? Did you set out to have the families be foils or mirrors of each other in specific ways? As I mentioned Dean’s wedding ceremony was ruined when Solange Pereira decided to intervene and push the bride tell the truth about her feelings. ( Solange was at the wedding for helping her cousin: but her eavesdropping of bride and her childhood friend’s private conversation which includes bride’s love confession to him, changed everything. She thought the bride was making a mistake by marrying with Dean. She had to mind her own business and shut up but did she do it, nope! She crashed the wedding!) I absolutely LOVED how neither Frankie, nor his brothers doubted Aiden's fidelity. They truly accepted him as a part of themselves.There were more than a couple scenes where I wanted to shout from the rooftops how much I enjoyed this book. I had the urge to talk to someone about it, maybe even message the author telling her how happy her book made me. I did neither.
