A whirlwind Christmas visit to Las Vegas. A long night of merrymaking. An Elvis Chapel. Whoops!
Emily and Mark join a bunch of friends on a trip to Las Vegas. At some point, they stumble into a wedding chapel and say “I do” to an Elvis impersonator.
The next morning they realize their mistake, and Mark promises to sort out the paperwork for the divorce.
Although Emily loves Mark, and has since childhood, she knows he’s not marriage material.
For Mark, it’s not that he has commitment issues—or any issues, for that matter—but marriage would complicate things. He and Emily are friends and he doesn’t want to mess with that.
Besides, he knows Emily is on the rebound. She’s not over her failed engagement to Dan the idiot.
On top of that, there’s Emily’s aunt. Myra doesn’t like Mark and if she learns about this elopement . . . well, let’s just say, there will be no Peace on Earth this Christmas!

The ending was beautiful.
I liked Emily and Mark, though I was hoping for more romance. It seemed like they were apart longer than they were together. Noelle was great. I hated Myra and Catherine. I mean why was there even Catherine's pov?? Unnecessary.
I waited for Noelle and Emily to stand up to Myra. Like, really stand up to her, tell her what they want and how she's not in charge of their life anymore. I was disappointed at the lack of that confrontation - I needed that closure but we didn't get it. And I needed Emily to stand up to Dan as well but he's still trying. Like who is still buzzing him into her building? She should get a restraining order at that rate tbh.
The writing was hard to get into, tbh, I was forcing myself to read this book at times. It was mostly “tell, don't show” which I don't like.
I'm glad that Noelle and Troy got the wedding they wanted
