I’ve read a few book of Meryl’s and enjoyed them all, but I think this one might be at the top! It could be that I’m a sucker for a friends to lovers romance, and this one was so much fun! If you’re a fan of that trope too, I highly suggest checking this one out!

I am usually a huge fan of anything Meryl Wilsner puts out but this just wasn’t it for me. I found the characters to be unlikeable, their fights felt forced, and too much butt stuff in sex scenes lol

I'm not at all shy about the fact that Meryl Wilsner is an auto buy author for me. They write some of the best queer romances and I absolutely inhale everyone! This one was no exception.

Fresh off her ended engagement, Elsie's now ex tell her to take their honeymoon with her best friend Ginny. Ginny and Elsie have been best friends almost as long as they've been alive. And wouldn't you know it, both have been pining for the other almost as long. Set in the beautiful and sizzling Carribbean, we watch as they finally give into their long held desires. Told from both perspectives, were given such an insight into sometimes the very same situation, just from each of their perspectives. This book is a perfect mix of love, desire, and finding out who you are alone before making a life together with a partner.

Some of my favorites moments in the whole book deal with the willful and sometimes accidental misgendering of Ginny and just how much that affects them. And yall! A sweet and sexy MC who uses they/them pronouns! 😍

Told is such stunning detail, this book is utter perfection! Just like every other thing Wilsner writes. And the spice!! Yall the spice is on fire! Ginny and Elsie have so much chemistry it's palpable! There's even a few newer kinks unlocked for returning Wilsner fans. 👀

I received an advanced copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martins Press, and Meryl Wilsner. ❤️

Can we talk about this book cover, loved it. Now that we got that out of the way, lets talk about the book. The friendship between Elsie and Ginny is sweet and adds the perfect first layer to their romance. Both characters are likable and easy to relate to. This book could have easy been 400 pages, and part of me wishes it had been. The parts that were set on the island felt rushed, for me personally. Same thing with the ending. I loved that the characters took time to figure out who they are without the other and what they want out of life. But it did feel rushed. All and all I really enjoyed the book and have added it to my read again list.
Thank you to St. Martins and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review

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.
