Sophie Steinbeck abandons her own wedding after realizing her fiancé is unfaithful, only to encounter Max Cohen, a professional objector who was hired to stop the ceremony. The two form an unlikely alliance based on their shared cynicism toward traditional romance. They begin crashing weddings together to save other couples from making lifelong mistakes, fueled by a mutual belief that marriage is often a trap. However, their pact to remain strictly platonic falters as they navigate high-stakes social events and develop a genuine physical and emotional connection that contradicts their anti-commitment stance.
This book serves readers who enjoy the fake-dating trope and snappy, banter-heavy dialogue. It appeals to those looking for a contemporary romantic comedy that features a high-concept premise and an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers arc. Readers walk away with a story about reevaluating personal boundaries and the difficulty of maintaining emotional distance when actual compatibility overrides ideological skepticism. It is a choice for those who prefer stories where chemical attraction forces characters to question their established worldviews.
