Description

"Mazey Eddings’s writing is authentic, emotional, and intensely romantic! To me, it’s like a Taylor Swift song in book form." - New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood

What starts out as a fake wedding date turns into something these childhood enemies never expected in The Plus One, a sparkling romantic comedy by Mazey Eddings.

She’s not looking to fix him. She’s looking to love him, if he’ll let her in.


Some facts are indisputable. The sun rises in the east, sets in the west. Gravity exists. Indira doesn’t like Jude. Jude doesn’t like Indira. But what happens when these childhood enemies find the only thing they can rely on is each other?

On paper, Indira has everything together. An amazing job, a boyfriend, and a car. What more could a late twenty-something ask for? But when she walks in on her boyfriend in an amorous embrace with a stranger, that perfect on paper image goes up in flames.

Jude has nothing together. A doctor that’s spent the last three years traveling the world to treat emergencies and humanitarian crises, a quick trip home for his best friend’s wedding has him struggling to readjust.

Thrust into an elaborate (and ridiculously drawn out) wedding event that’s stressing Jude beyond belief and has Indira seeing her ex and his new girlfriend far more frequently than any human should endure, the duo strike a bargain to be each other’s fake dates to this wedding from hell. The only problem is, their forced proximity and fake displays of affection are starting to feel a bit…real, and both are left grappling with the idea that a situation that couldn’t be worse, is made a little better with the other around.

    The last person Indira wants to see after a sticky kink is her brother’s best friend and nemesis, Jude, in “The Plus One” by Mazey Eddings!! This book is absolutely hilarious! The best enemies are those who have known each other for years and have loads of information in their arsenal. Not only are doctors Papadakis and Bailey funny, but also are the familiar faces from Eddings previous books in the A Brush With Love series. Plus, we have Indira’s brother and fiancé putting smiles on our faces! The crying in this book is refreshing especially with the amount from the less gentler gender. We find ourselves crying too with the main characters and for them. The internal conflicts for both main characters evoke empathy for their struggle bringing complexity to the story. I applaud Eddings for a great job writing with a psychiatrist and psychologist persona. If you want to read about playful teasing between childhood frenemies then as adult frenemies who turn a fake relationship into forever, I highly recommend this book!! Thank you to Net Galley, St. Martin’s Press, and St. Martin’s Griffin for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.
