Description
Carter’s fiancé is in love with someone else. Link has just been left at the altar. After bonding over mutual heartbreak at the would-be reception’s open bar, Link and Carter pass out in the honeymoon suite—and are mistaken for the happy newlywed couple the next morning. Reluctant to deal with the fallout from their breakups, they embark on an exciting week of fake honeymooning, during which Carter starts to have real feelings for Link. A genderqueer artist who lives life by their own rules, Link inspires Carter to build a new future. Against the eclectic and electric backdrop of New Orleans, Carter and Link have to decide if a second chance at love is in the cards, or if they’re only meant to be sidelined in someone else’s story.

I love this book. It’s such a fun take on a fake wedding story. But at its core, it has a lot of heart and soul. It’s also great to have a non-binary lead romance character be represented. A highly recommended read for anyone who wants a sweet, passionate romance in the great city of New Orleans,
Abi G, Reviewer
Catch me leaving my fiancé at the altar someday to marry this book instead because I love it. It has second love and fake-married and an absolute nerd of a main character, and Link is the love of my life and the casual nonbinary rep was so good to have. I will never not be emotional about Carter learning that he is a worthwhile person who deserves someone who treats him right and I will DEFINITELY never get over Link always calling Carter adorable and loving him for all his quirks.
Also, as someone who hates when perfectly nice people get left at the altar in romcoms because the main character didn't work their shit out soon enough to break up in a polite manner, this book is balm for my soul. I love when there's a bit of nudging the fourth wall when Carter and Link worry that they'll always be the "boring background characters" compared to the vibrant "main characters" who jilted them, and I love reading them realize they're main characters in their own right.
There's quite a bit of both Carter and Link having to work out their own problems alone, but the frustration and loneliness there only made it more real, and made the romance even sweeter by contrast. I love this book a lot and recommend it wholeheartedly.
