Larisa has been fired from her job and broken up with her boyfriend Brent. With nothing left she travels to her Aunt's estate Elmhurst to renovate it to sell. With everything going wrong in her life, when she passes by a little bridal shop she wonders what could it hurt to pretend just for a while. But the shop owner, Larisa's former teacher, assumes she's getting married and spreads the news around town. Soon Larisa is lying to everyone about marriage plans...everyone except Jack, a friend from her childhood and caretaker of Elmhurst estate. How long can she keep up the charade before everything falls apart?
Although the main character Larisa does redeem herself in the end, the first half of the book just felt like I was reading about a spoiled child. Instead of facing or fixing her problems, she throws a temper tantrum or runs away and pretends everything's fine. I had a really hard time connecting with the characters in this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
