The Time of Our Lives

  Luca has been invited to her best friend's wedding. She most likely been dreading this day as she hasn't seen a lot of her friends since university (it's been about 10 years). On the way to venue, someone speeds past Luca, which she is not too happy about. Once she arrives, she leaves a not so very nice note on the person car. As she is one of the last ones too arrive, she heads to the bar, and there she meets a guy called Pete and they begin talking.  Luca has been called upon to become a bridesmaid by her best friend (the groom). This is because one of the bridesmaids is pregnant and has gone into labour, and her dress is roughly the same colour as the bridesmaids' dresses.  As Luca is walking down the aisle, she spots...not Pete, but her ex-boyfriend Tom, who is one of the best men. Not only does she see Tom but also the girl Tom had left her for...Cleo, who is also pregnant and is also a bridesmaid (turns out that not so very nice note she left on the car, was Toms' car). Tom had mistaken Cleo (as Cleo came dressed as cat woman which was supposed to be Luca costume) for Luca but her and Cleo description of one another were nothing alike.  Pete was really taking my liking throughout the story until the end. As the story progresses, we find out the Tom is not the father to the Cleo baby (and that him and Cleo are no longer together) as well as Pete being married and having a family of his own. There are also secrets that this group of friends having been keeping from each other from the time at university especially how Cleo ended up in Luca costume as well as everyone else having their own relationship problems.  During the story each chapter goes back and forth, from the wedding day to when they were all at university together, and the social life and all the friends hanging together.  It is clear in the chapter as to when the time in the story is taken place.  I mean I love a second chance romance book, so it was not shocking to me that Luca had decided to get back together with Tom but at the same time, I did question it as Tom was the reason, she had trust issue and yet she still forgave him.  I feel like Luca deserved to start a fresh and her seeing not one but 2 exes at the same wedding did not help her at all. And of course, a guy who she probably had feelings for lied straight to her face without a feeling of remorse.  I was smiling throughout different parts of the book; however I feel like she forgave Tom too quickly.
