Scientist Sadie Beecham has met the man of her dreams. Until her roommate and childhood friend, Meg, waltzes in—and steals his heart. Sadie tries to walk a thin line between being a supportive friend and a woman determined to get her man while she keeps Trey Kincaid, Meg's older, pesky brother, at bay. Why can't Trey see that she and the good doctor are meant to be together, and why, all of sudden, is Trey capturing her attention in ways he never has before?

I am not a fan of the film on which this book is based, My Best Friend's Wedding starring Julia Roberts. The movie just never did it for more me. But I absolutely loved Abby Gaines' HER BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING. The twists that Gaines added, to make the deluded heroine the best friend of the bride, not the groom, and to make the bride's brother interested in Sadie, made the entire cast of characters more interesting. This, along with more interesting conflicts, made them more sympathetic than the film versions. Then, Gaines' style of writing made HER BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING laugh out loud funny. Each time Sadie was thwarted in her attempt to get closer to the doctor, I couldn't wait to see how Trey would respond and how in his response, he would draw Abby closer to him. I also loved that Meg, the seemingly ditzy friend, doesn't get short shrift. She gets to work through her issues and evolve so that the ending brings happiness for her as well as for Sadie.

Book Summary

When did Sadie Beecham get those curves? She'd always been the geek next door, his baby sister Meg's brainy best friend. Smart, sure. But hot? He never would have imagined it…before. Now, Trey Kincaid's imagining all sorts of things. And none of them has to do with Sadie's gifted mind.

A mind, he discovers, she's clearly lost. Because she thinks she's in love with Meg's fiancé. And that's an obsession he's determined to put an end to—one way or the other.
