Hitting all of the perfect RomCom parts, this book is a great palette cleanser for after a heavy read or to get you out of a reading slump.
Ali Rubin has always lived her best life going for fun now and facing the consequences later. She’s never said no to a bet and that’s how she ended up with a weird looking tattoo on her hip- that is the perfect match to a perfect stranger she met in a pub during her semester abroad in London 8 years ago; the perfect stranger with whom she had a very deep connection. Now trying to settle down and be the adult everyone wants her to be, she’s working as an intern at a premiere wedding planning company in Baltimore to prove to everyone she’s not the flighty kid she used to be. With a promotion to Junior Planner on the line she’s pleased this next wedding is falling into place beautifully- until the groom finally shows up and ends up being the British stranger with whom she shares a tattoo.
Lindsay Hammeroff has given us such a fun character in Ali. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments and the Jewish representation is in full abundance.
