Plot-
Will Ares is a divorce lawyer working for Hollywood hotshot Evans Beatty, who is divorcing his former spouse and is planning to marry the young starlet Carrie Cartwright. Aside from the divorce, Carrie and Evans are planning their wedding and it's up to wedding planner Gigi Averelle to make our starlet's dream come true. Now obviously Will and Gigi will cross paths during this delicate time but who would've thought he'd attracted to a wedding planner, considering that his job is to essentially break marriages rather than make them happen. What's even more ironic is that our dear lawyer is a hopeless romantic and Gig's spunky attitude and game of 'hard to get' inevitably draw him to her.
But how will he ever get her to go out with him? Simple they make a bet. With all the chaos around Evans and Carrie, Gigi suspects that the two love birds will never make it to the alter but Will believes otherwise. So the two of them bet on love, their terms:
If Evans and Carrie push through all the obstacles and get hitched then Gig has to go on a date with Will.
If the young couple calls it off before the big day then Gigi gets to make an online dating profile for Will and can pick three dates for him.
If you wanna know who wins go read the comic.
Thoughts-
This wasn't my favorite comic but it had it's moments. Honestly sometimes it was a little info dumpy and i would get confused here and there with Beatty's ex wives and Carrie's self doubt. the romance was fast paced with plenty of humorous moments and adorable dialogue. But this was an okay read, it was not a book that had me swooning or dying to see what happens next. But i liked the idea, it was different and refreshing. Plus there was a little bonus story in the end that i enjoyed.
If you like hopeless romantics and wedding planners who don't believe in love go read this.
