Sometimes true love takes a little heavy lifting
""The most hilarious disaster bisexuals youâll ever meet.â âDahlia Adler, Buzzfeed Books
This irresistible adult debut from beloved YA author Jennifer Dugan is a queer romcom for fans of Delilah Green Doesnât Care and Written in the Stars, in which a gym employee accidentally ruins her bossesâ daughterâs wedding, then even more accidentally falls for the runaway bride...
The gym is Lizzieâs lifeâitâs her passion, her job, and the only place thatâs 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, Lizzieâs best friend, James, begs her to be his plus one at his perfect sister Caraâs wedding, things go wrong immediately, and culminate in Lizzie giving a drunken pep talk to a hot stranger in the womenâs bathroomâexcept 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 Lizzieâdesperate to make sure her bosses never find out her role in this fiascoâgets strong-armed by James into âentertainingâ her. Cara doesnât have to know itâs a setup; itâll 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 itâs not just Lizzieâs job and entire future on the line, but also the girl of her dreams.
