This book has it all for us! All of our slang, excellent movie quotes, rad pranks, all the boombox holding nostalgia with an epic love story! EVERYTHING!!!! I listened to this book and having two narrators, one for Love \u2018em and Leave \u2018em Alice and Hot Steve, was ON POINT!<\/p>\n<p>Alice and Steve end up being bridesmaids to their best friend. Yes, this will be an unconventional wedding as guys and girls will be on both sides. The best part is that Alice and Steve are the perfect partners in crime for the wedding. Actually, they are very similar in most aspects of their lives. As their story continues and we get to know them, they end up learning things about themselves that they aren\u2019t really happy about. After the party they make a pact for the 10-year anniversary. But what happens in the middle and leading up to the 10-year anniversary is\u2026well, a lot. I can\u2019t call it a page turner because I listened to it, LOL! It was gripping and I couldn\u2019t stop listening because I JUST HAD TO KNOW!<\/p>\n<p>This was so nostalgic, plus the story just had a touch of everything! I highly recommend it! Just read it or listen to it already!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25626\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/amzn-author-media-prod\/669hnnqn8e6ljqvdcii78n6bd._SX300_CR0%2C0%2C300%2C300_.jpg\" alt=\"Karen Grey profile image\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" \/><\/p>\n<p>KAREN GREY is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of vintage romantic comedies with smart heroines and hunky heroes.
