"Absolutely delicious. What a gorgeous ode to one of my favorite 90s romcoms, My Best Friend’s Wedding. I've thought about alternative endings to the movie for years and Gina Hamadey delivers with both creativity and verve. Romantic, charming, laugh-out-loud funny. I inhaled it in one night and then passed it on to my own best friend."

— Jo Piazza, national bestselling author of The Parisian Heist
