One-star romance

"A struggling writer who's worried she's running out of time to make her dreams come true is forced to walk down the aisle at her best friend's wedding with a conflicted academic who gave her book a one star rating, from delightfully, witty author Laura Hankin. Natalie and Rob don't have much in common beyond their devotion to their respective best friends. Nat's a messy aspiring artist, trading stability for a chance to pursue her dreams. Rob's a rigid academic on a strict schedule. These two opposites are forced together not just as guests of the same wedding but also to walk down the aisle together--as Maid of Honor and Best Man. To make matters worse, just minutes before the ceremony, Nat discovers that Rob is responsible for the one-star review of her newly released novel. Nat believes the only possible explanation for Rob's bad rating? He's a snob who doesn't get her. Whereas Rob, who thought Nat a beautiful, intelligent creative, now thinks she's a selfish artist. Over the course of ten years, this Best Man and Maid of Honor are reunited each time their fast-track best friends celebrate another new chapter. Through christenings, housewarmings, and amazing job promotions, Natalie and Rob try to make sense of their own choices, changing dreams, and the real meaning behind the one-star review. Headed towards a crossroads, will they choose their own happy ending?"--
