I give this book 3.5 Stars!I enjoyed reading this book, but would have loved to seen so much more from the characters. I can assume with the way it ended that there will be a sequel or at least hope for one. I just would have likes a little more detail and storyline for the two main characters. It might have helped me to go from liking the book to loving it. I felt as if the story was a little too rushed and things happened very suddenly for the couple. I know that they had known each other for a long time which would make sense for things happening so quickly, but maybe adding more scenes and details of them together might have given us a little more insight to their relationship.The story follows Lanie, who is a wedding planner living in L.A. and she hasn't been home in over 5 years. She moved away from her family in Texas to escape. She hated the way they all lived and found herself always embarrassed by them. Her roommate Lucas has been her best friend for the last year and that is all she see's in him until suddenly she is faced with having to go back home. The problem with going back home is that her family believes she has a boyfriend and her cousin who she is planning a wedding for would love none the less to prove that Lanie is miserable and single. Lanie finds herself getting help from Lucas with filling the role of boyfriend for her family, but when they arrive things take a new level in the relationship, and sparks begin to fly between the two.I do hope that there will be a second book and we can get to know the characters a little better and maybe see more in depth on who they each are as well as a deeper look into their relationship as a couple now. Overall I did like this book, but there with the lack of detail it just didn't hit home for me. I do hope others will like it more than I did. I can say that I did enjoy the characters, and the humor between them.
