“I’ll say a little prayer for youuuuuu” (not me jamming out over here…)

When I was a pre-teen, I watched My Best Friend’s Wedding expecting and wanting the best friends to get together.

They didn’t 😐 lol (I mean. Come on! Cameron Diaz was a pretty sweet girl 😬 and Julia Roberts was the home wrecker 🫣).

So reading this gave me the satisfaction I needed for the past 20 years 🤣(how has it been THAT long 😩).

Lia (Ophelia) and Breaker (both about 30 ish) have been best friends since they were in college (junior year) when Lia joined the SSS club (Secret Scrabble Society). They hit it off right away, and for ten years, these two have bonded over so many things- board games, movies, shows, life…

And now, Lia’s going to get married to Brian, whom she met shortly after her parents’ deaths (they died over 18 months before in a tragic helicopter accident ☹️). Luckily, she has her ride-or-die Breaker by her side. Breaker’s going to be her MOH, Man of Honor. It’s perfect timing for him since he’s not allowed to work with his brothers because of an unfounded lawsuit against him. He’ll have PLENTY of time to help Lia with her wedding 😅

It isn’t until Breaker sees Lia in her wedding dress that something awakens in him. Something that involves feelings…

What I loved: spoilers ahead—the slow 🔥. Okay. Listen. I know. I know so many people are gonna want this to be a fast burn. But. The way that it’s done here MAKES SENSE. Lia and Breaker have been best friends for a decade. For a chunk of the book, she’s with someone else. It needed to be on the slow burn side 🤷🏻‍♀️. Sure, Breaker could’ve pushed her, but he made sure to get her to FEEL 🥵 the delicious tension 💦 between them. It’s the little touches that had even MY heart beating 👀 and got lots of juices flowing 😉. He needed her to know that they are IT. This isn’t a game. They’re not just gonna move on. This is IT. And man… did I enjoy it 😋.

—the smeeexy scenes 💦. Oh LAWD. Breaker knows what he’s doing 🥵. At about 56% he describes some stuff he likes to get done to him and what he likes to do as well 👀🔥. At 70% ish we get some completions that showcase the duuuurty mouth on Breaker 💦 and lots of sprinkles of 🔥 until 90% when it finally happens 😉

—DISNEYLAND!!!! 🥰. Ermagod. I was screaming at this. I used to have annual passes, so I’m a hooooar for anything Disney 🥰❤️. Plus. Their first official kiss happens her 🥹🥹🥹. ITS. SO. PERFECT 😭

—he fell first 😈. I love it when the MMC goes a little cuckoo for the FMC, especially if he’s the one that falls first. It made all the tension even more delicious 🤤

—the redemption to My Best Friend’s Wedding 🤣. This was slightly different (obviously) because it’s the FMC getting married. Plus. The future groom isn’t the best guy (unlike Cameron Diaz in the movie). He didn’t cheat, but he was inattentive or hands off with the wedding.

—Breaker as a best friend. I mean. This man stands up for Lia when no one else does (I’m looking at you Brian 😐😑). He made me SWOOOON!!! This is as even MORE important because Brian wasn’t standing up to his mother; his mother was basically walking all over Lia, and Brian not doing anything aggravated me to no end 🤬

—3 knocks. Then 4 knocks 😭. I love that they shared a wall 🥹🥰

—games… movies… common interests… I don’t know how these two didn’t see it sooner 🤦🏻‍♀️

—my favorite couples from the past books. ERMAGOD!!! Seeing Huxley/Lottie, JP/Kelsey, and Ryot/Myla together and in various parts throughout the book had me fangirling 🥰😭. Plus. I adore seeing their HEAs and futures way after their own books 🥹 gaaaah (I’m STILL bitter about Banner 😑 I’m looking at you Untying the Knot!!!)

—THE EXTENDED EPILOGUE WAS EVERYTHING 😭. It also made me sad 😩 after I swooned a lot ❤️. I don’t want them to end 🥹

What I didn’t like/wanted more of:—the quick closure on Brian. It happened way at the end. Yes. It added some angst, but I felt like Lia could’ve dealt with this smoother. However, it didn’t bug me that much 🤷🏻‍♀️. Brian wasn’t being a good fiancé and just kept brushing Lia’s concerns and feelings under the rug… so… good riddance 💅 🫣

—the Beave aka future MIL. She pissssssed me off 🤬. I’m so glad Breaker told her off and that Lia did too… sorry not sorry your veil got ruined 😬😅 whoops

—the lack of sexual safety talk😐. I dislike when things like STDs or pregnancies are ignored. Lia was in a SERIOUS relationship with someone (duh… she was engaged) and Breaker was VERY experienced. They used condoms, but one of the times, they don’t and eventually get one on😐. I would’ve liked them to at least address being clean 🤷🏻‍♀️. Maybe go get tested? That way, there’s no barriers anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️. Come on 🤦🏻‍♀️

—I didn’t mind this too much… but hearing about how good Breaker is in the sheets had me side-eying his escapades 😐 (🤣🤣🤣 I’m such a jealous person 🤣)… he’s not EXACTLY comparing Lia to OW, but more like telling her what he likes and how he would do things to her as well… but yeah… still had me 😑 a little 🤣

⚠️ safety squad⚠️-no cheating/sharing-OMD- the h is engaged to OM. The H and OM barely tolerate each other. There’s a scene where the H thinks the h is with OM after the breakup but it gets cleared up quickly-OWD- the H goes on dates with OW. They kiss twice. This is before the H and h do anything. The H is starting to see the h in a different light but isn’t sure what he’s thinking. He ends things with ow once he realizes he has feelings. She recalls one time she heard him have sex in the 10 years they’ve known each other. He has a dirty mouth-death of parents (before book begins): h lost both her parents in an accident the year before-praise kink/edging/hand necklace/toys/spanking/dirty talk/p slapping-condoms/then none/no talk about bc or safety 😐-HEA/epilogue/extended epilogue ❤️
