I loved everything about this story. It was well written and the story just seem to flow so effortlessly that before I knew it, I was at the end. This was a clean fun book. I know there is a lot of people who want and expect a few love scenes, and normally I would too.....but this story was so good even without it. I will admit, this story didn't take the path that I thought it would. I think that was another plus, because it wasn't as predictable as most romance stories usually are.Fifteen years ago, Valarie McCray answered a love letter from the boy of her dreams. The problem? It was meant for someone else. Fifteen years later Val is still feeling guilty about her part in the deception between her best friend and the guy she's had a crush on for the last fifteen years.Over the years Val has changed both in appearance wise, as well as becoming quite a bit more mature than she was fifteen years ago. When she gets a call from Jason, saying that he and Heather met again at the last class reunion and they hit it off so well that they were getting married. But while announcing his wedding plans with her best friend Heather, he also mentions that it probably wouldn't be happening at all, if not for the letter he wrote, and the answer Heather had written in returned all those years ago. Heather calls her later that week, and she kept going on about Jason talking about some letter that she swears she never remembered getting, little lone ever answering it.In fact; Heather doesn't seem quite as excited about getting married as Jason does, and that bothered Val so much that she knew she had to go to the week long celebration before the wedding, in order to make sure her friends weren't making the biggest mistake of their lives.She buys her train ticket, packs her bags, and then heads out to see if there's a way to make things right.But a string of obstacles lands Valarie in an impossible situation...like sharing the last available rental car with inept but well-meaning salesman Riley Cohen, after the train they were riding on is involved in a crash.. He detours her for a business meeting, where his quirky and desperate attempts to land a sale result in a zany disaster only Val can fix, and fix it she will. After she fixes his problems, she packs with the intentions of getting back to the hotel where the wedding will be taking place.But before she is able to get to her destination, there is a few other zany things that take place....which all happen to include Riley, who now insists on escorting her to the wedding as a "friend". Ha! Like Riley is going to settle for that title. He has his own little agendas, and being just a friend isn't one of them.From there on it's a whole series of wild rides.Would I recommend this book? Yes, I certainly would.
