“The dead aren't the only ones who vanish: you, too, can disappear in plain sight if enough is taken from you. I was still missing, in many ways. And I wasn't sure I wanted to be found.” So muses seventeen-year-old Louna who found the love of her life but soon loses him to a senseless tragedy. The following summer before going off to college, she begins working full-time for her mother, a well-respected wedding planner and her business partner, William, both of whom are single and as cynical as Louna has become, going so far as to place bets as to how short-lived each marriage will be. The job of making a wedding as perfect as possible can be stressful but becomes more so when a young man named Ambrose starts working for the company. Ambrose is the opposite of Louna in that he is completely impractical and doesn’t seem to take anything seriously, much to Louna’s chagrin. However, he’s charming in a rather haphazard kind of way. Before long, Louna is startled to find that she’s beginning to experience feelings she thought only happened once in a lifetime. As the romantic tension between Louna and Ambrose grows, we discover what truly happened between her and her first love, Ethan, through flashbacks. Fans of Sarah Dessen, and romance fiction in general, will not be disappointed.
