First, the novel does not rely on contrived big miscommunications or manufactured drama to create tension. Reviewers have praised the book for featuring “two reasonable adults” who navigate their relationship with relative maturity. There are no evil queen characters or over-the-top villainous plot devices. Instead, the conflict emerges naturally from the characters’ emotional vulnerabilities and past wounds.
At the event, Stella meets Hudson Rothschild—the gorgeous groomsman and brother of the bride. The two share a dance with off-the-charts chemistry, but the fun comes to a crashing halt when Hudson discovers that Stella is not who she claims to be. Caught in her deception, Stella bolts for the door, not hesitating to grab a few bottles of expensive champagne from the tables along the way, with an angry Hudson in hot pursuit. Though she escapes into a taxi, she quickly realizes that she has left her cell phone behind at the wedding table. Hudson finds it, and this seemingly small mistake sets the stage for an unexpected and complicated relationship.
