If you’re a fan of grown women not knowing the word “vulva,� an overprotective man who doesn’t know how to communicate and likes to use “hussy� as a sexy nickname in bed, and a certain polarizing romance trope that I won’t name in fear of spoilers, yeah you should pick this up.
Was this well written? Not particularly. Did I read it in one day? Yeah I did. Would I call the cops on Luke in real life? One hundo. Do I also suspect that maybe this was a twilight fanfic at one point? I think I do.

This was one of my most anticipated books! I’ve read Meryl Wilsner’s books before and they’re always a hit for me, so I was extremely excited to be approved for My Best Friend’s Honeymoon.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, devouring it in just over a day. I thought Ginny and Elsie were great characters and were well fleshed out. Their friendship and chemistry was also very believable.
Since I was given this eARC for reviewing purposes, I will get a little nit picky going forward, but don’t be confused, I really liked this book.
My biggest problem with the story was how the POV was handled. Third person is my favorite to read, so I’m no stranger to it, however switching between Ginny’s internal monologue to Elsie’s in the next paragraph with no chapter breaks felt incredibly jarring. This happened throughout the book. If the focus on each character was separated by chapter, or even chapter breaks, it would flow much better.
Another issue I noticed was pronoun usage for Ginny, specifically in chapter 24. Throughout the story Ginny is only referred to with they/them pronouns. Yet in chapter 24, Ginny repeatedly gets referred to by she/her. No where else in the story does Ginny use feminine pronouns. If it had been sprinkled through the novel it wouldn’t be an issue, however it’s only in this specific chapter where it’s used.
My last complaint goes into spoiler territory, and since the book is not out yet, I will save that part of my review for release date
Overall I did still really enjoy this book and I definitely look forward to reading what Wilsner writes next! I can’t wait to recommend this book when it releases in April.
