At the end of last summer, Quinn confessed her crush on him in the form of a rambling email—and then he left for college without a response.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eQuinn has been dreading seeing him again almost as much as she dreads another summer playing the harp for her parents’ weddings. When he shows up at the first wedding of the summer, looking cuter than ever after a year apart, they clash immediately. Tarek’s always loved the grand gestures in weddings—the flashier, the better—while Quinn can’t see them as anything but fake. Even as they can’t seem to have one civil conversation, Quinn’s thrown together with Tarek wedding after wedding, from performing a daring cake rescue to filling in for a missing bridesmaid and groomsman.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eQuinn can’t deny her feelings for him are still there, especially after she learns the truth about his silence, opens up about her own fears, and begins learning the art of harp-making from an enigmatic teacher. Maybe love isn’t the enemy after all—and maybe allowing herself to fall is the most honest thing Quinn’s ever done.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“Equal parts swoony and thoughtful and hilarious—a truly perfect recipe for love.
