Standard rom-com with an eye-opening point of view of one bisexual character (Carter Jacob) and one non-binary character. (Link) Link is left at the altar by Jamie who re-unites dramatically with long-ago love, Matthew, who happens to be Carter's fiance. A little complicated. Carter and Link meet at the hotel bar as each attempts to drown their sorrows. They end up (innocently) spending the night together in the honeymoon suite and then are assumed to be the happy newlywed couple, so partake in all the booked and paid-for honeymoon activities in the Big Easy. It is therapeutic for both of them and some sparks start to fly, but both are afraid of the rebound relationship. At the end of the week, Carter returns to Aurora IL where he has a very dull life as an architect, though he is passionate about the work. After a week or 2 avoiding his shared condo with Matt and crashing with his annoying, though caring sister Paige, Carter rethinks his life and returns to New Orleans to pursue a house renovation dream - and Link. Some hits and misses get a little frustrating - Carter can be so dense I wanted to shake him! Standard Shakespearean comedic ending. Yay! New for me - and challenging until I could override my grammarian training-was the inclusive use of pronouns "they, them, their" to refer to Link. Reading for me is always about learning, so this book succeeded in that regard. ( ) Jilted by Lilah Suzanne due Nov 2018 Interlude Books This started slowly. Predictably. But it got better. Much better. Link and Jamie are at the altar. Jamie's ex, Matt, comes to the wedding to win back Jamie before she is lost forever. She leaves Link at the altar. Carter and Matt have had a long relationship, and Carter is upset and is lost. He ends up drunk. Link is lost and drunk. Carter and Link end up in honeymoon suite talking and pass out. They are mistaken for the newlyweds, and decide to roll with it and enjoy the guest package included with the suite. This is told through Carters point of view and I really grew to like Carter, and Link. When they run into each other again in New Orleans and decide to visit the tourist attractions there, they slowly develop feelings for each other. The relationship between them and their slowly developing trust was so good. Carter and Link won my heart. Their relationship is the highlight of this novel. Thank you to the author and Interlude Books for the ARC for review. #Jilted #netgalley Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Carter's fiancé is in love with someone else. Link has just been left at the altar. After bonding over mutual heartbreak at the would-be reception's open bar, Link and Carter pass out in the honeymoon suite-and are mistaken for the happy newlywed couple the next morning. Reluctant to deal with the fallout from their breakups, they embark on an exciting week of fake honeymooning, during which Carter starts to have real feelings for Link. A genderqueer artist who lives life by their own rules, Link inspires Carter to build a new future. Against the eclectic and electric backdrop of New Orleans, Carter and Link have to decide if a second chance at love is in the cards, or if they're only meant to be sidelined in someone else's story.
