What I liked the best about this book was the chemistry and emotion conveyed between Lily and Bennett. This was both an insta-love and a slow burn but in different moments of time. I'm generally not a fan of flashbacks, but the way that McCallan tackled this was very effective. I was completely engaged and anxious to understand how Lily and Bennett new each other and what happened to create such a rift. I don't want to say too much because a big part of the charm was the discovery. When Lily begins to plan Bennett's best friend's wedding, they are forced to spend time with one another again. Lily is a wedding planner and Bennett is keeping up with the Joneses in her high society circle. Alternating between 'Then & Now,' we learn about their history while simultaneously watching their awkward navigation of re-acquaintance. McCallan tells an affecting story of two women finding themselves unexpectedly back in each other's lives. Her characters are always hot and likable, with better than average dialogue, and a small dose of angst for a good payoff. Alternated between past and present seamlessly. Is there anyone out there that has not read this yet? Second read and loved it just as much as the first time.
