But I am happy to report, Sosa writes Max in such a way that it's extremely tough to never grow to like him as he's so charming and funny and he just really 'gets' Lina. There is no reason to hold a grudge against Max AT. We get to almost 20-25% to the end of the book and readers will begin to learn we've thought the wrong brother was the Asshole. The Groom has bailed, so there won't be a wedding today and now he has to go inform Lina -the very beautiful, extremely nervous Bride- that her wedding day is permanently ruined.įor a major portion of this story, I had a chip on my shoulder about Max, so I didn't warm to him until midway into the book when the cutest and funniest montage of scenes kept coming at us. Andrew cannot marry Lina today, he has left a very ominous text to his brother ->' what you told me last night stuck with me, yada yada.I need to think about this more.' and Max wakes from a drunken stupor, finds his phone but no brother. He is the younger-by-a-few years brother to Andrew who our female MC, Carolina, was supposed to marry at the start of this story.Įxcept.eh, we come into the Prologue 'the morning after' Andrew's Bachelor/Stag party and well.let's just title this RUNAWAY GROOM. So, yeah, the whole premise -the entire summary- is meant to instantly put a reader on the BAD-SIDE of Max. I got their back, ya know! I especially attempt to stick up for them when assholish behaviors run abound. So whatever is being done to the character I identify with the most, I feel what they feel but I amp that shit up to 1000. I have admitted it a few times on this subreddit, but I am an emotional empathetic reader.

Let me make sure I am very clear, this 'thing' I will talk about doesn't draw away from the 5-stars in any sense, in fact, it makes me wish I had gone into this book with a better, uhm.overall feeling about the male MC, Max. I want to say this, there is one thing I am upset over. The right amount of Angst/Drama.the right amount of passion and chemistry.the right amount of flaws that balance out the unheard-of perfections. I've been reading a lot of her Author friends' books for years, so she has been on my radar and what a perfect way to introduce me to her. Mia Sosa isn't a strange Author to me, but she is a new one. Hmm, where do I even start? What an utter joy of a book and THIS is certainly my definition of a proper Romantic-Comedy.
