Review:

Friends to Lover's trope! Elise is engaged to Derrick and has been for the past year and a half. While she knows he treats her well and everything, she is still on the fence about getting married. She's indecisive about getting married because it seems so final. Derrick's quick wedding planning forces Elise to realize she doesn't want that. Breaking off the engagement, Derrick still wants Elise to go on the Honeymoon because it's nonrefundable. Ginny has been Elise's best friend since grade school, and she has watched Elise always do for others and never do anything for herself. Genny thinks it's time to change that, so she goes on the honeymoon with Elise, hoping to help Elise realize what she wants.

Ginny will do what Elise wants to do, but she only has to ask for it. At first, it seems like Elise struggles to ask for what she wants, but slowly, she gets to where she can ask for it. 

However, slowly, Elise and Ginny start having feelings for each other, and they act upon them. And then Elise is kinda on the fence, not wanting to go back to her regular life in a different relationship when she just broke her engagement. This caused a rift between Elise and Ginny because of her indecisiveness.

While I am not the intended audience, I think the message of the book is universal, and everyone can appreciate it! You cannot live your life for someone else; you have to live your life for yourself. 

The writing is AMAZING. I received the audiobook to listen to and review. The narrators, fitting the characters perfectly, brought the story to life and enhanced my appreciation for it! Thank you Macmillan Audio, St. Martin's Press, and Netgalle,y for the opportunity to listen/read and review this one! I enjoyed the ride!
