About this listen
"Bursting with laughs and so much love, Sidney Karger's debut novel delivers a truly refreshing spin on the romantic comedy…A big-hearted, feel-good summer escape."—Anderson Cooper, #1 New York Times bestselling author and journalist
When two best men in a wedding party fall for each other, they realize love isn’t a piece of cake in this hilarious and heartfelt romantic comedy debut by screenwriter Sidney Karger.
Max Moody thought he had everything figured out. He’s trying to live his best life in New York City and has the best friend a gay guy could ask for: Paige. She and Max grew up next door to each other in the suburbs of Chicago. She can light up any party. She finishes his sentences. She’s always a reliable splunch (they don’t like to use the word brunch) partner. But then Max’s whole world is turned upside down when Paige suddenly announces some huge news: she’s engaged and wants Max to be her man of honor. Max was always the romantic one who imagined he would get married before the unpredictable Paige and is shocked to hear she’s ready to settle down. But it turns out there’s not just one new man in Paige’s life—there are two.
There's the groom, Austin, who’s a perfectly nice guy. Then there's his charming, fun and ridiculously handsome gay younger brother, Chasten, who is Austin's best man. As Paige’s wedding draws closer, Max, the introverted Midwesterner, and Chasten, the social butterfly East Coaster, realize they’re like oil and water. Yet they still have to figure out how to coexist in Paige’s life while not making her wedding festivities all about them. But can the tiny romantic spark between these two very different guys transform their best man supporting roles into the leading best men in each other’s lives?

Bookstore owner Aubrey Barnes likes his quiet, orderly London life, thank you very much. His shop may be struggling, his only employee is a menace, and his plumbing is one creaky pipe away from disaster, but he can handle it. Maybe. He cannot, however, handle the film company that's thrown his Soho street into chaos. And he definitely can't handle the charismatic American actor Blake Sinclair.

It could be because he loves the creative challenge. It could be because he’s a huge Leeches fanboy. It’s definitely not because of Lewis Hunter, his extremely demanding, staggeringly rude...and breathtakingly gorgeous boss.

Story
Garland Moore used to believe in magic, the power of optimism, and signs from the universe. Then her husband surprised her with divorce papers over Valentine's Day dinner. Now Garland isn’t sure what to believe anymore, except that she’s clearly never meant to love again. When new friends invite her to spend a week at their reopened sleepaway camp, she and her sister decide it’s an opportunity to enjoy the kind of summer getaway they never had as kids. If Garland still believed in signs, this would sure seem like one.

I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more: to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

What a wonderful story
I now have a new favorite writer. This story was lively, sweet and fun. The characters were well developed and I felt like I knew them by the end of the book. The story was witty without a moment of dullness. I can’t wait to read the next one.

More comedy than romance.
I thought this book would be about the MC’s relationship but it’s more about the journey to starting a relationship. While cute, it needed more romance. It felt more centered on the MC’s friendship with his bf who is getting married than with his hopefully romantic partner.

A wonderfully funny and delightful rom-com!
! I loved everything about this book and I think it would be absolutely perfect to be made into a film! And this totally makes sense since this is the debut novel of an award-winning screenwriter.
There are a lot of hilarious moments, both between the two MCs, Max and Chasten, and especially between Max and his best friend, soon-to-be-bride Paige. But the book also has a lot of deeper undergoing themes: Max especially has a ton of issues to work through and sometimes you can’t really tell if he’s clueless, an insensitive jerk or just insecure.
What makes the book even better, in the opinion of a total music nerd, is the soundtrack. There are so many conversations revolving around music, karaoke outings and the likes, and Max’s love for The Smiths? Yeah, I’m there with you, buddy!
Though Max and Chasten have a terrible hook-up at the very beginning of the book, when they do not even know each other, the book is actually quite a slow burn, as in nothing physical happens between them until the end, though they get closer and closer throughout it, and it’s clear their connection goes beyond physical pretty soon.

WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER...
This story would have been better without the first person narration. We see everything from Max's point of view, and there was only one reference that Max was handsome. He had to have something going on since near perfect Chasten was clearly interested in him. It would have been nice to have Chasten's view of Max... his perspective on things.
The back and forth between Max and Paige did get a little old, however, it was a pleasant read and an interesting snapshot into planning a contemporary wedding.

Mixed reaction
If you like endless references to pop music of the last fifty years, you will enjoy this book. Many lines made me laugh, but the story lazed along, making me hope something exciting might happen. I was rarely satisfied. The love story between the two male leads was the only thing that kept me going.

Okay story overall bland
I really am just not a fan of the narrator. I feel like the overall romance was forced just to have the story. Too much time was spent talking about his job and really added nothing to the plot.

Classic rom com style
Book has all the key moments of a classic romcom of enemies to lovers plot devices. The performance is what made it for me. Hearing it turns the classic predictable plot into something worth continuing to listen/read too.

A Sweet Gay Romance...
Ok, first off- this is not high art. If you're expecting that, move on. It is a story about a midwestern gay boy in NYC. He's got a soul-sucking job. -" I would've liked that thread fleshed out a bit more". A gal-pal that can't make up her mind about anything and expects her friends to do it for her. She expects her "gay best friend" to be the kind of "Gay" that can help her plan her wedding. He's not up to the task that at all. He has a old boyfriend relationship that ended years ago that he's still hanging on to. It stops him from finding a real relationship.
Also, the groom's younger brother is just about everything this guy could want- he might be a little too perfect.
Everybody in the story has their good and bad points. The love between the friends is truly solid. Even if they are a bit crazy. In the end, love finds a way. There are a lot of pop-culture references, you might want to brush up. I liked this story. It would make a fun read at the beach this summer. Light, cheery and sweet.
