StoreyBook Reviews 

 

Synopsis

From USA TODAY bestselling author Jennifer Snow comes a hilarious rom-com with a speculative twist that asks: Why put off until tomorrow the wedding you can sabotage today?

Hailey Harris can’t stop messing with fate. A successful life coach, Hailey uses her ability to glimpse the future to guide her clients down the right path. But her gift has made her own life lonely. After all, having a real friend would mean asking someone to believe the unbelievable.

The one person she might have confided in—her ex, Liam Jensen—is newly engaged to a beautiful, sweet, thoughtful heiress. But when Hailey has a vision predicting a not-so-happy ending for the couple, her mission is clear: help Liam and his fiancée avoid the biggest mistake of their lives.

Stopping the wedding while planning Liam’s engagement party is no easy feat. And Warren Mitchell—Liam’s sexy, irritating best man and Hailey’s nemesis—is suspicious of Hailey’s motivations. Between sleeping with her frenemy and watching her careful plans spiral out of control, Hailey discovers the real cause of Liam’s future heartbreak. But now that she knows the truth, will Hailey keep on fighting fate or trust in the love she never saw coming?

Review

I loved this book! Yes, it is a romance with an enemies-to-lovers trope, but there was something about this one that touched my heart. Maybe it was Hailey’s life before this moment, the lessons she learned, or the realization that we all have potential within us, we just need someone to push us in the right direction.

While we don’t have a deep background in the characters, I found them charming in their own way. I enjoyed the banter between Hailey and Warren while they fought their attraction to one another. There was more to them than just the surface that we see; they have feelings and care about more than just themselves.

There is conflict and resolution throughout the book. This also shows how society reacts to someone making a mistake and wanting to “cancel” them.

I enjoyed reading this book and give it 5 paws up.
