Inhaltsangabe

Sometimes true love takes a little heavy lifting

"The most hilarious disaster bisexuals you’ll ever meet.” —Dahlia Adler, Buzzfeed Books

This irresistible adult debut from beloved YA author Jennifer Dugan is a queer romcom for fans of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care and Written in the Stars, in which a gym employee accidentally ruins her bosses’ daughter’s wedding, then even more accidentally falls for the runaway bride...

The gym is Lizzie’s life—it’s her passion, her job, and the only place that’s ever felt like home. Unfortunately, her bosses consider her a glorified check-in girl at best, and the gym punching bag at worst.

When their son, Lizzie’s best friend, James, begs her to be his plus one at his perfect sister Cara’s wedding, things go wrong immediately, and culminate in Lizzie giving a drunken pep talk to a hot stranger in the women’s bathroom—except that stranger is actually the bride-to-be, and Lizzie has accidentally convinced her to ditch her groom.

Now, newly directionless Cara is on a quest to find herself, and Lizzie—desperate to make sure her bosses never find out her role in this fiasco—gets strong-armed by James into “entertaining” her. Cara doesn’t have to know it’s a setup; it’ll just be a quick fling before she sobers up and goes back to her real life. After all, how could someone like Cara fall for someone like Lizzie, with no career and no future?

But the more Lizzie gets to know Cara, the more she likes her, and the bigger the potential disaster if any of her rapidly multiplying secrets get out. Because now it’s not just Lizzie’s job and entire future on the line, but also the girl of her dreams.

infuriating side characters

I don't know what kind of live experience some people are drawing from when writing, but they must have dreadful friends. the main characters best friend is invasive, exploitative and ignorant to the point where it's hard to read. especially with the mc's relationship to her mother which is super toxic and probably deserves a trigger warning. every side character except for the guy running the Irish pub and one of the romantic interest's friends is a sorry excuse for a friend/family member. and the romantic interest is not too different sadly. the main part of the story is not very romantic and relies on all the characters playing their weird scheming games to be moved along. overall I found the mc's story pitiful to listen to and I felt bad for her at several points. There were some genuinely funny moments especially relating to the mc's gay panic.
I did not finish the book at the time of review, but I am 66% through.
Lori's performance is great as always.

Edit after finishing: the finale of the book adresses the issues the characters have and how messed up it all is, which makes it a lot better in my book. If you can deal with characters misstreating each other, it's a good read overall.
