I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.  All opinions are my own. 

Two people determined to survive wedding season together find themselves drawn together in more ways than one in author Angela Haas’s “My Plus One = You.”

The Synopsis

They’re just trying to survive wedding season—until love crashes the party.

It’s wedding season in Scottsdale—the perfect backdrop for love … unless you’re Rachel or Cameron.

For Rachel, wedding fever is difficult to escape, especially since she’s a thirty-four year old perpetual bridesmaid. For Cam, who invests more in his bakery than his heart, weddings are just another event to survive.

Desperate to avoid the endless parade of “I dos” alone, Rachel and Cam make a pact—be each other’s plus one for the season’s weddings. The rules are simple: don’t overcomplicate things, be there for each other, and—most importantly—don’t fall in love.

Easy, right?

When their exes reappear, stirring up old emotions, their resolve is tested. Amid the swirl of confetti and wedding vows, they confront their growing feelings and lingering pasts.

Will the irresistible pull of love force them to break the rules?

Dive into a steamy, humorous, and heartfelt story where love may be the wedding guest neither Rachel nor Cameron saw coming.

THE REVIEW

This was a heartfelt and compelling romcom. The author struck an excellent balance between humor and witty dialogue. The characters and emotional depth made this both a compelling narrative and a great homage to romantic comedy storytelling. The author does a great job writing in a way that gives readers enough detail to picture these scenes playing out while leaving enough room for readers’ imaginations to take over and feel immersed.

The relationship between the two protagonists is the heart of this narrative. The author explores the friends-to-romance trope in a way that’s both funny and heartfelt. The author writes in a way that pulls the reader in from the start, often making you laugh or shake your head when you want to tell these characters to really look at one another the way they should. The will they/won’t they aspect plays out well, and the wedding-season backdrop is a great way to bring these two characters together.

THE VERDICT

Heartfelt, compelling, and entertaining, Author Angela Haas’s “My Plus One = You” is a must-read romance-comedy novel and one of my favorite books in this genre this year. The heartfelt connection readers make with these characters, the bond the protagonists share, the drama brewing between them and their exes, and the sometimes steamy, always emotionally tense atmosphere these two create will keep readers on the edge of their seats as the story unfolds.

She has been writing since she was a kid and still has all the spiral-bound notebooks she filled with her early stories. Her series Keepers of the Universe features older women as the superheroes because she was tired of the standard entertainment tropes of older women being the evil queen, jilted first wife, or wise grandmother.
