The Worst Wedding Date

Laney is in Hawaii for her best friend’s wedding. Now she’s stuck with Theo, whom she’s supposed to be babysitting. Theo is a grown man, but trouble seems to follow him everywhere, and this week he has to stay clear of the groom before he ruins the entire wedding.

To make things easier, Laney has to stay in the same cabin as Theo so she can keep an eye on him. They end up spending a lot of time together. Laney starts to loosen up, finally letting go of her strict rule-following ways.

It doesn’t take very long until she realizes that Theo is not only good-looking but also has a heart of gold. But Theo is hiding something big, and I’m not talking about the kittens he’s keeping in the extra bedroom.

Review

Usually, I start with the positive feedback, the things I liked about a book, before moving on to what I didn’t like. But this time, I feel like I should start with the “negative” points, because the things I liked less happened at the beginning of the book.

Sometimes I write down notes while reading that I can use later in my reviews. One of the things I wrote down this time was: man child. At the beginning, I really felt like Theo was just a big man-child. I mean, what 30-year-old needs a babysitter? It also seemed like he didn’t take life seriously; the kind of person who might never grow up. I also didn’t like the scene where he accused Laney of touching his morning wood when it was actually his own hand.

But you know what? Eventually, I started to really like Theo. He’s not very open about it, but he clearly cares about his sister and did everything he could to make the wedding a success. He paid for the wedding, put together the rehearsal dinner, and handled everything else when the resort staff wasn’t available. He was the one fixing everything. And honestly, how can you stay mad at a man who rescues kittens and takes care of them?

Laney was fine as a character, but spending more time with Theo really helped her grow. She grew up with very strict parents, works at their company, and is about to become the new CEO. Being around Theo made her braver, and she realized it’s okay to have fun too. At first, I thought it was strange that she still cared so much about her parents’ opinion and still followed their rules, but then I reflected on it and realized that it’s actually quite relatable. A lot of people crave their parents’ approval; I know I do sometimes.

This book was a lot of fun to read. I actually laughed out loud when I found out Theo’s big secret; I did not see that coming at all. It was hilarious. The Hawaiian setting also gave the story strong summer/vacation vibes. For a few hours, I felt like I was on a sunny island in a completely different world.

This is the first book in the Three BFFs and a Wedding series, and we already got a glimpse of Sabrina’s story. She had a one-night stand, and when she returns to work after the wedding, she discovers that he’s actually her new boss. That’s definitely going to be fun, and I can’t wait to read that book.

The only other thing I want to mention is that I’m not the biggest fan of epilogues. Most of the time, I don’t really care for them. This book has four epilogues, which felt like a bit of overkill to me. However, I did enjoy the bonus epilogues from Fred’s point of view; that was a fun and cute.
