Olivia is back in town, to plan the wedding of her sister with her ex-boyfriend. She finds it devastating since the break is only four months old and her sister already pregnant (thus the wedding).Battling her emotions, she relies on Brandon, Kyle's stepbrother, to keep her grounded and somewhat sane during a difficult week-end.Overall, i liked the novella. Olivia, Brandon and Kyle are nice characters. You can feel Olivia's emotions, ups and downs and follow her path to happiness. She is mostly believable, if too sweet for my taste. I don't really expect anyone to be so selfless, a mere four months after such a betrayal.I gave this novella only three stars, instead of four, because i did not like the way all the characters tried to keep Kyle from marrying nor the fact that no-one really blames him for the affair. I would have liked at least one person, apart from Olivia and Brandon, to openly disapprove, not only of Noelle, but of Kyle as well. He gets off easily, with all his friends being concerned. Why ? Did he not roll into bed with his girlfriend's sister a few weeks after she left and neglected to practice safe sex ? He deserves to be held accountable and to lie in a bed of his own making.
