Week 16 Review: My Best Friend's Honeymoon

From Goodreads:

Meryl Wilsner's spicy f/nb romance, where two lifelong best friends go on a nonrefundable honeymoon together and discover sometimes to find a happily ever after, you just have to ask.

Elsie Hoffman has been engaged to her college boyfriend for a year and a half. Ginny Holtz has been in love with Elsie for almost a decade and a half.

When Elsie discovers her fiancé already planned their wedding and honeymoon as a surprise and she's expected to be in a white dress in seven days, she swiftly realizes she's let herself become too comfortable with a future she never wanted. She breaks things off, and a week later is on a plane to the Caribbean for her non-refundable honeymoon with her best friend Ginny instead.

Ginny thinks it's high time Elise learned how to speak up for herself. So, they make a deal with her. For the next week, Elsie can have whatever she wants, wherever, however, and whenever she wants it, as long as she asks. They never expected Elsie to want them.

What starts as choosing activities and taking selfies soon turns to toe-curling kisses and much, much more. But what happens when the honeymoon is over?

Meryl Wilsner's My Best Friend's Honeymoon is about not only learning to ask for what you want, but for the happiness you deserve.

My Review:
This was an adorable read! I really enjoyed these two and their romance! That they had been best friends for so long, that when Elsie gets fed up with her heteronormative relationship, well, bringing along her best friend on what was supposed to be her honeymoon trip makes sense. 

The relationship between these two was the most important part of this story. That the have so much history, most of it positive, but there was some negative in there. That Elise is getting out of a long-term relationship, yeah, Ginny was there for her. But their communication? Not the strongest. 

I loved seeing the together on the resort, almost like they're on a honeymoon themselves, but without the wedding or fully romantic relationship beforehand. And then they go home, and real life comes back to be dealt with. I had such a great time watching them deal with everything! 

I did find that resolution a little fast, like that her father approved of her plans for the store. It was just a little easy, like, why did they spend so much worry on something that was over so quickly? True, that's a part of life, but quite what I want to read. 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Meryl Wilsner!
