BLURB:
On the heels of a painful and long overdue breakup, what Victor Nelson needs is time to lick his wounds. What he doesn’t need is everyone in his family trying to play matchmaker so he can find someone new… which is exactly what they’ll do at the three stupid weddings he has to attend this summer.
Fortunately, it’s Dominic Lowe to the rescue. Dom is more than willing to come along to all the weddings as his best friend’s “boyfriend”… even if he’d much rather be there as Vic’s real boyfriend.
Convincing people they’re a couple is easy. The charade is miserable for Dom, though, after years of being madly in love with Vic. But maybe those three weddings are a rehearsal for the relationship he knows they could have for real.
Trigger warnings: eating disorder, discussions of verbal/emotional abuse
REVIEW:
Three weddings in one summer is a lot. Especially if you’re single and still licking your wounds from your latest breakup and have a family bent on setting you up with any and all available men. Safe to say, Victor is not looking forward to it. Until his best friend Dom agrees to play his boyfriend for all three weddings.
Said and done. We follow this duo during wedding preparations, parties and the down times in-between. They fit seamlessly and effortlessly. Three Stupid Weddings is very low steam – how can it not be as both guys are ace – so no sexy times in sight. There are plenty of banter and sweet moments though. It’s an uncomplicated and yes predictable story, in a good way. It was sweet as a wedding cake – well not the non-fat vegan kind they served at one of the weddings, but you know what I mean.
Michael Ferraiuolo (and nope, still can’t spell his name) made this book with his wonderful narration. He captured Vic and Dom perfectly, the longing, quirks and the apprehension of food. While there’s no sexual tension in this book there’s plenty of longing, and that came through so clearly in Ferraiuolo’s narration. You could feel the connection between Vic and Dom, the friendship and the wish for more from Dom’s side and Vic’s total obliviousness. It was cute.
All in all I enjoyed listening to this novella. It’s the perfect listen when you need some fluff and wonderful narration.
