From the author of my best book choice of 2013, Louder Than Love, comes an all new story of learning to love, embrace, and let go. The past needs to be dealt with in order to learn how to live in the present. 
 Blown away: that's what I was after reading. There is just that certain something Jessica Topper possesses that transforms her books into a memorable journey on the page. Once again, I am left pondering and rereading a story I hesitate to let go of. 
 Laney Hudson is dragging her mother's wedding dress across country in time for her mothers wedding in Hawaii. It becomes more than a dress along the trip. It transforms into a metaphor for her life and the weight, baggage, and guilt Laney carries. 
 Noah Ridgewood is on his way to a bachelor party: his bachelor party, in Vegas. Finding himself at a real crossroads and rethinking his plans, he mistakenly judges the wedding dress-carrying woman across from him as just another bride-zilla on her way to make another man miserable. 
 A series of encounters in different airports, bad weather, and misunderstanding lead this unlikely pair to sharing a hotel room for the night. The freedom created by having a person to unload on has both Noah and Laney revealing bits and pieces of their past, and forming an understanding of self and each other neither has experienced before. 
 It's a wonderful version of a story that has been done before, but with the talented Jessica Topper, it feels fresh and mature. I absolutely loved it!
