This was an ARC from Union Lake Publishing and NetGalley. My opinions are my own. This book is on sale now.
Dina Haq is the eldest sister and, as such, has always felt like she has to be the perfect one. She is a successful lawyer in her parents’ law firm, and she married the right man (on paper). Dina has not told her family that she is, in fact, divorced and has not been living with her ex, Arshad, for more than a year. She’s very worried they will be disappointed in her, and she also doesn’t want anything to overshadow her younger sister Hania’s spectacular wedding celebration.
Hania is an online influencer, which means that every aspect of the wedding celebrations is being streamed online, including the arrival of the groom and his family in Toronto. Dina is shocked to discover that the man she actually had a crush on back in law school, Lucky, is the best man. Not realising that her scheming narcissist ex-husband manipulated the situation so that Dina and Lucky both believed the other to be indifferent, so that he could swoop in and woo Dina instead (because her wealthy background and her dad’s law firm fit perfectly into his plans for the future), they are still feeling that perceived betrayal, but keep being forced to work together, because Hania has a long list of absolutely ridiculous demands, and as the maid of honour and best man, Dina and Lucky are the ones sent to sort things out.
Dina and Lucky are clearly incredibly attracted to one another, but Lucky believes Dina to still be married to his former best friend, so he’s not exactly going to make any romantic overtures towards her. Dina’s best friend keeps telling her to just tell everyone the truth, so she and Lucky can reunite and make sweet, sweet love, but instead, there are all manner of misunderstandings and thwarted yearning, while Dina’s ex is allowed to be an absolute asshat who keeps threatening to spill the truth and make a scene.
