Lifelong best friends consider their relationship in a new light in the latest from Wilsner (Cleat Cute). Elsie Hoffman has drifted into an engagement with college boyfriend Derrick but doesn’t seem to want to plan her wedding. It’s not until Elsie’s fiancé decides to surprise her with an already planned wedding and honeymoon that Elsie finally realizes that this relationship isn’t what she wants and breaks up with him. Elsie’s best friend, Ginny Holtz, has secretly been in love with Elsie for most of their life and will take whatever Elsie wants to give them. When Elsie and Ginny go on her and Derrick’s nonrefundable honeymoon to a gorgeous tropical island, Ginny discovers that what Elsie really wants is Ginny. As the two finally explore their sexual desires, bigger questions emerge, such as whether people so wrapped up in each other’s lives know who they are on their own.
VERDICT Readers looking for nonbinary main characters, sapphic friends-to-lovers romance, and sexy vacation novels will appreciate this heartfelt exploration of what it means to fall in love with someone you have known almost your entire life.
