The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The premise: driven wedding planner Lina has mostly recovered from being left at the alter three years earlier by her then-boyfriend Andrew, the news delivered to her the morning of the would-be wedding by Andrew’s brother Max. Now Lina learns she is a finalist for a coveted job as wedding coordinator for an elite property management company — she has five weeks to work with a PR professional on the right pitch, and sell her socks off in hope of scoring the job. The catch? When the hotelier CEO takes her to meet said PR men, she finds herself face to face with Andrew and Max. Lina panics and feigns not knowing them, the men play along, and this set up lays the foundation for a quick literary rom com where Lina must pair up with Max, whom she’s blamed all this time for Andrew’s change of heart years earlier. You can probably guess where this is going — two good-looking, passionate people, working under high stress, in close quarters… what could go wrong? Or… right? This was an enjoyable book though admittedly I wished I was reading it by a pool or on a beach, as it has that kind of fun and playful vibe. I really liked the character of Lina, who is strong, motivated, and very likable. I rooted for her happiness for sure.
