About this ebook

‘Funny and Addictive!’ Fabulous Magazine

Funny, sad and honest, if you loved Sophie Kinsella’s Wedding Night and Phaedra Patrick’s The Library of Lost and Found, this is the book for you.

Five years ago at university they had been seven friends who laughed hard and loved harder...

Nicky and Miles were the couple that were always meant to be. Leigha and Adam, not so much.

So when Adam and Harriet grow close during endless days in the library, they do the one thing that changes everything – they keep a secret. And when it comes out, it all falls apart.

As the day approaches for bridesmaids to be chosen and best men to fulfil drunken promises, Nicky and Miles realise their wedding isn’t just a wedding, it’s a reunion – loaded with past hurts, past regrets, and past loves...

About the author

You'd probably like Erin Lawless; she's quite nice.

She lives a happy life full of wonderful friends, in love with a man who buys her books instead of flowers. To mix things up a little, she write books where friends and lovers hit obstacles and (usually) overcome them. When she's not doing that she's reading absolutely everything she can get her hands on, spending an inordinate amount of time in pyjamas and running a fun-but-informative blog on British history.
