I absolutely loved this new book from Meryl Wilsner. My Best Friend’s Honeymoon is the story of two friends who end up on a honeymoon together after one of them calls off their engagement. While the outcome of the book is pretty clear from the beginning, I had a wonderful time reading about their journey together and watching them grow from friends to something more. I would definitely recommend this book to any queer romance fans, and this is another great book from Wilsner.

I loved this book! I’m going to give it 3.5 stars because I do feel like some parts of the story moved too fast. This author has definitely become an auto-buy author for me though! I read mistakes were made and the day I finished it I came right to this Arc! Overall a very fun read from a great author!

I usually wait to read a book until closer to publication date, but with this book, I couldn't wait to read it! As soon as I was approved on NetGalley, I jumped right in.

Meryl Wilsner is amazing at writing queer romance. They know how to write romantic scenes with lots of spice and heart. Elise and Ginny have been best friends for most of their lives. Ginny has always been in love with Elise, but they keep their feelings to themself. Ginny is a nonbinary lesbian, and Elise is a pan female. When Elise ends her engagement to her fiance because he plans their whole wedding, she realizes that she isn't ready to marry him. He tells her to take the honeymoon with her best friend, Ginny. Ginny is more than happy to go with Elise on the trip.

On the trip, Ginny tells Elise that they will do anything that Elise wants. They want Elise to go after things that she wants because she is always putting herself and her needs second. When Elise wants Ginny to kiss her, Ginny is all in! Their scenes together are so spicy!!

Elise has had feelings for Ginny, but she was always afraid that it would ruin their friendship. Now, that they are both exploring their feelings, what happens when the vacation is over?

I loved this story, and the only reason that I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because the ending felt rushed. I really wanted an epilogue to really wrap up the story.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC of this book.

Thank you Meryl Wilsner for confirming why friends to lovers is an elite trope. I couldn't put this book down. Elsie breaks up with her fiance, but ends up with a fully paid for honeymoon. And the only perosn she wants to go on it with is Ginny who has definitely been in love with her their entire lives. I adored their dynamic, incredible friends, incredible history, and a real fear of is it worth it to fuck this up. How Ginny and Elsie were just cheering each other on.

The sexual chemistry, the comfort they were to each other. And the sexxxxxxx. A must read.

Meryl Wilsner’s My Best Friend’s Honeymoon is an electrifying exploration of love, self-discovery, and the courage to embrace desires. Wilsner's writing is sharp and witty, capturing the chemistry between lifelong friends Elsie and Ginny with sizzling intimacy. The Caribbean setting adds a lush backdrop to their journey, making each moment feel vibrant and alive. The premise is fresh and engaging, inviting us readers to root for Elsie as she learns to voice her true wants. This romance is not just spicy; it’s deeply emotional, showcasing the transformative power of asking for what you truly desire.

My Best Friend’s Honeymoon might just be my favorite Meryl Wilsner book so far. Like a fine wine, their stories only get better, and the spice? It’s undeniably hot in this one—definitely not holding back. What really stands out, though, is how easy it is to see yourself in both Elsie and Ginny. They’re so relatable in a way that pulls you in.

I found myself fully immersed, almost living through the book, and dreading the moment it would end. But, of course, it did. Meryl has once again delivered a standout in sapphic lit. This one’s definitely worth your time.

For lovers of Wilsner's spice, this book does not disappoint.

After having ended her engagement, Elsie goes on the pre-booked honeymoon with her best friend Ginny, whom she comes to realize she's had feelings for their entire friendship. Ginny would do anything for Elsie and has been pining after her just as long. When decades of repressed feelings come a head, you have a very hot Caribbean vacation and even more heightened emotions. When they come to realize that they don't know who they are separate from the other, trust is broken and hearts may be shattered.

Meryl Wilsner is an auto buy author for me, so I jumped at the opportunity to review this arc. Wilsner gets the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and heartbreaking that makes for an excellent romance novel that keeps you turning the page and not putting the book down until it's over.
