Lucie's Review:
Emma's father is dying of cancer, but he doesn't let it keep him down, he wants to use his last days to encourage his friends and family in their faith. He also has a bucket list to complete, and one of the things on it is to walk Emma down the aisle.
Emma loves her dad and want to help him complete his bucket list, even if that means staging a pretend wedding with her brother's best friend, Jake.
Told from the first person point of view, we get to see everything through Emma's eyes, so while I understood why Emma was doing what she was doing, I could only guess as to why Jake was going along with it. I liked that Emma had one friend who questioned what she was doing.
The interaction between Jake and Emma was great, to keep u the illusion they had to do coupily things like take dancing lessons, which were pretty fun.
Overall, this was a fantastic story, that I absolutely loved. I had my doubts at first because when I read the synopsis, I was kinda thinking that what they did was a horrible idea, but as I read this novella really won me over. Definitely recommend.
