Don't miss this hilarious rom-com from million copy bestseller Portia MacIntosh!

Mia thought she had it all figured out. After a whirlwind romance with her charming boyfriend Leo, she’s ready to take the plunge into marriage … until wedding planning turns her world upside down. With family expectations looming and doubts creeping in, she questions everything she thought she wanted.

When she lands a gig ghostwriting the autobiography of pop sensation Dylan King, Mia is pulled back into the glitzy life she left behind in LA. As she navigates the chaotic world of celebrity, Mia finds herself drawn to Dylan’s magnetic charm and carefree attitude.

Will Mia say ‘I do’ to a future with Leo — or run toward the wild life she thought she'd left behind?

I love this author and have purchased all her books but Mia is so awful I wish I had my money and time back. She is so unredeemable I find myself wishing poor Leo could get away and she could get some much needed therapy.

So disappointed
