Emma's dad has terminal cancer, and when she discovers his Bucket List only has 1 item remaining on it, she will do whatever she can to help him complete it. Only, the last item is to walk her down the aisle, and she's missing a groom to meet at the other end. When she confesses her wish to her long-time friend, Jake, he offers to be that man for her - a fake wedding to give her dad what he dreams of. But can Emma follow through? Can she fool her dad, and her heart, into a fake wedding?
The Year of Weddings series has been a little hit or miss for me, but this one was definitely a hit. My only problem with it was that I wanted it to be a full novel! I wanted more of Jake and Emma's story! While the author managed to not make the story feel overly rushed in so few pages, I really wanted to be able to savor their connection and history, and let it build up to the inevitable ending. I wanted to get to know the side characters, too - the best friend Lily, the smirky brother Liam - oh and I want their story, too!
As far as novellas go, I give this one 5 stars - It's hard to make a novella compact but satisfying. I can only hope that the author decides to expand this story though and give us some longer books!

I received a copy of this e-book from the publisher, in exchange for my honest review.
