What would you do if the one that got away turned up the night before your wedding?
Audrey is marrying Josh; steady, dependable Josh, the love of her life. They share a flat and a bank account, and it's the only relationship that Audrey's ever had that feels like something she can put her trust in. But romance should be full of fireworks, and as the big day approaches, Audrey's found herself wondering if Josh really is 'the one'.
So, when Josh's sister Miranda arrives at their rehearsal dinner with Fred - Audrey's 'What If?' guy, the man she met six years ago and had one amazing day with but never saw again - Audrey can't help but see it as a sign.
Surely Fred's appearance the night before Audrey is due to get married can't be a coincidence. And when everything that could go wrong with the wedding starts to go wrong, Audrey has to wonder: could fate be trying to stop her from making a huge mistake?
What did I think?
I enjoyed Before I Do so much more than I expected to. I was expecting something lighthearted and fun, which it sort of is, but it's so incredibly intriguing from the start that I couldn't put it down. I hadn't read any of Sophie Cousens' books before but I definitely want to read more now.
The first line is a wonderful hook that not only sets the scene but makes the reader want to find out more. With chapters titled various amounts of time 'Before I Do' the story flips back and forth between Audrey's past and the present day. Audrey has always wondered about Fred, her one that got away, as fate seemed to bring them together before so cruelly tearing them apart. Josh didn't make such a good first impression on Audrey but her love for him grew and they are about to get married. The last person Audrey expected to see the day before her wedding day is Fred.
I really felt for Audrey as she juggled her emotions and tried to keep her wedding on track. It seems like fate is once again playing a part in Audrey's life when things start going wrong, but Audrey is sure that she loves Josh, isn't she? A wedding must be one of the most stressful things a couple can go through so it's no wonder that they often have doubts. I loved the vivid portrayal of Audrey's emotions and I felt like I experienced them all with her.
Before I Do is so entertaining, the writing is vivid and the plot is wonderfully surprising. I absolutely loved it and it's an easy five stars.
