357 p.
Genre: Romance/Realistic Fiction
Louna works for her mother’s successful wedding planning business, but after having her heart broken a year prior she is not sure there is such a thing as a happy ever after. Her mother and her mother’s business partner, William, also feel this way and Louna worries they are getting too pessimistic and jaded. Then, they meet Ambrose who is the crazy optimistic little brother of a bride and nothing ever seems to get him down. At first Louna sees this as simply shirking responsibility and not caring about his future, but after he lands a summer job working alongside her, she begins to see he is just hopelessly helpful and always hopeful that everything will work out positively. Eventually, Louna realizes she wants to be more like that, but will that mean officially “getting over” the terrible thing that happened in her past relationship? Will she ever really have a chance at another true love?
Fans of Sarah Dessen will enjoy this new title, but the characters don’t quite stick with the reader the way they do in some of her other books such as The Truth About Forever. The way Louna’s previous relationship ended definitely adds a unique twist that will surprise readers. Overall, a fun, fast story for readers who love romances.
