The Blurb:

If there’s one thing that Bridgette Reynolds has learned recently, it’s that the perfect shoes, the perfect hair, and the perfect dress do not make for the perfect proposal. In fact, sometimes they make for the not-so-perfect breakup.

Now, Bridgette must do everything in her power to win Adam back. She knows they are meant to be. And nothing will stand in her way—not her friends, not her grandmother, not even the fact that Adam is now engaged to Serene after a whirlwind romance.

Focused on her plan to win Adam back, Bridgette isn’t expecting Ian—her college best friend, her love, her big regret—to come back into her life. They sink back into their comfortable friendship as if no time has passed at all, making Bridgette start to question her feelings for Adam. But Ian has a few secrets of his own . . . secrets that could shatter their friendship once and for all.

Bridgette has to make some major decisions—should she speak now? Or forever hold her peace?

My Review:

A fun, heart-warmingly funny page-turner, this is romance with some (absolutely outrageous) real life thrown in.

Brimming with secrets from all parties, Bridgette’s life is one disaster after another. You have Adam, the ex who’s moving on straight after dumping her, Ian, the ex-ex that got away and may or may not be keeping something from her, and, because you always need family in your life, there’s Grams, the erotica-reading, soap-opera-obsessed meddler. A little far-fetched? Possibly, but not in a bad way.

Interspersed with snippets of Bridgette’s college history, this is a book about how dealing with the past can help you find your future. Nostalgia, comedy and romance – what more do you need?
