Good book. Nathan and Poppy connected and became friends in college because of their similar misfit personalities. They were just very good friends, but Poppy pulled back from their friendship when Nathan married, leaving Nathan wondering what happened. Ten years later, Nathan is a self-made billionaire, and Poppy's dreams of a fashion career have evolved into work as a wedding planner.

When Poppy's business gets into trouble because of her partner's actions, she can only think of one way to save it. She visits Nathan for the first time in a decade and asks for his help in convincing his business partner to use her business for his upcoming wedding. Nathan, who still feels hurt and betrayed by what he sees as Poppy's abandonment, is reluctant but agrees. He doesn't expect his partner to require that Nathan be part of the process.

I enjoyed watching the development of the relationship between Nathan and Poppy. The first thing they have to do is deal with the past. I ached for both as the reason for their estrangement was revealed. Nathan carries a lot of guilt over the memories of his late wife and their marriage, while Poppy did what she thought was best at the time. Neither expected the attraction that came along with their revitalized friendship.

I loved their time together in Copenhagen, researching wedding venues and activities. They got to know each other as they are now and discovered they still have much in common. I loved seeing Nathan learn to have fun as they experienced various activities. I also loved how Nathan boosted Poppy's confidence in her fashion designing and his suggestion on how to blend her designing with her business.

But when their growing feelings for each other cause a re-emergence of insecurities and guilt, Poppy and Nathan must decide if their love is worth fighting for. Luckily, they have people ready to give them the advice and push they need to overcome their issues. The ending was sweet and emotional, with an excellent epilogue. I loved Nathan's surprise for Poppy.

They used to be friends...

At seventeen, Poppy Winchester met Nathan, two misfits in college. For four years, they were best buds and nothing more. Nathan married Alexis and Poppy moved on. But, now, a decade later, they are both carrying baggage from both their parents and a failed relationship each. Poppy was with a man who was just as terrible as her father and Nathan is widowed from a marriage that had drifted apart. But Alexis saddled him with a lifetime of guilt.

I really liked this book. Poppy and Nathan were both good people, learning to trust, to be friends again, as they work towards a wedding pitch and to feel the zing of being attracted to someone after a long while. They have fun and work together and communicate well. You know, like proper adults. I really liked them together, as they were stronger as a couple and were good for each other.
Recommend.

This is a Romance. I tried to get into this book several times, but I just could not get into the story. The characters also did not grow on me. I really think this is not the book for me. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

To save her wedding-planning business, Poppy seeks help from her former best friend, billionaire CEO Nathan. He travels with her to Copenhagen to scope out venues for his business partner's wedding. As they reignite their relationship, will friendship turn to love?

Poppy and Nathan have a complicated relationship. They have past hurts and misunderstandings to work through, and they need to learn to trust each other again. It's an emotional story. I also enjoyed their travels in Copenhagen.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
