Description
"Mazey Eddings's writing is authentic, emotional, and intensely romantic! To me, it's like a Taylor Swift song in book form." - New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood
What starts out as a fake wedding date turns into something these childhood enemies never expected in The Plus One, a sparkling romantic comedy by Mazey Eddings.
She's not looking to fix him. She's looking to love him, if he'll let her in.
Some facts are indisputable. The sun rises in the east, sets in the west. Gravity exists. Indira doesn't like Jude. Jude doesn't like Indira. But what happens when these childhood enemies find the only thing they can rely on is each other?
On paper, Indira has everything together. An amazing job, a boyfriend, and a car. What more could a late twenty-something ask for? But when she walks in on her boyfriend in an amorous embrace with a stranger, that perfect on paper image goes up in flames.
Jude has nothing together. A doctor that's spent the last three years traveling the world to treat emergencies and humanitarian crises, a quick trip home for his best friend's wedding has him struggling to readjust.
Thrust into an elaborate (and ridiculously drawn out) wedding event that's stressing Jude beyond belief and has Indira seeing her ex and his new girlfriend far more frequently than any human should endure, the duo strike a bargain to be each other's fake dates to this wedding from hell. The only problem is, their forced proximity and fake displays of affection are starting to feel a bit...real, and both are left grappling with the idea that a situation that couldn't be worse, is made a little better with the other around.

Eddings (Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake) delivers a heartwarming enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance between psychiatrist Indira and her brother’s best friend. After Indira’s boyfriend cheats on her, she takes up temporary residence with big bro Collin and his husband-to-be, Jeremy (her ex-boyfriend’s cousin), not knowing that her childhood nemesis, Jude, Collin’s bff, is also staying there for five weeks before the wedding, having taken an extended leave from his job as a surgeon with an NGO that operates in conflict zones. As their lifelong playful bickering resumes, both recognize a forbidden attraction to someone they consider off-limits—and realize that the other is in desperate need of emotional support. Indira, who is in therapy to work through abandonment issues, spots the signs of Jude’s post-traumatic-stress symptoms from losing patients, while Jude sees Indira’s discomfort around her ex at pre-wedding events, and suggests they pretend to be dating for the duration of the wedding. It’s a fun combination of tropes, and, as their mutual trust grows, they eventually indulge their attraction in scenes both steamy and humorous. Readers will root for Eddings’s wounded protagonists to find love and healing.

Eddings' romances, including Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake (2022), are refreshingly unique while each is distinctly different; all address serious issues in a hilarious and rewardingly steamy way. Her latest is the most serious yet, with characters coping with mental health issues that include PTSD, but Eddings manages to weave a funny and heartfelt romance around this somber topic. Indira and Jude are like oil and water, and have been since childhood. Jude just happens to be the best friend of Indira's brother, Collin, and therefore has been a constant presence. Until he left to become a traveling doctor treating victims of disasters and crises. When he returns home after years away for a brief reprieve to attend Collin's wedding, he is close to crumbling. Indira battles her own demons in the form of abandonment issues; ever since her dad left, she's tiptoed through relationships and never really committed. When Jude and Indira are thrown together during the wedding preparations, they are surprised to find solace in each other's company and their passion slowly kindles toward a satisfying end.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
