Talk about an intricate plot to line up so the jokes hit right. This is my favorite romcom in awhile! They met in med school when they literally ran into each other. And were practically inseparable afterwards. Studying together, giving each other haircuts etc. She had a very clingy ex-boyfriend. You will love Peter's nickname for him! Anyway short version, Peter had an inheritance he would lose after his dad died. If he didn't get married in three months afterwards. Being a good best friend Piper agrees to marry Peter, so he doesn't have to marry a stranger, for her med school bills. Here's where it gets interesting on their honeymoon night one kiss leads to a pregnancy. He stays long enough to get her through it then moves to China. Did I mention his.mom is a really conniving woman? Oops, I thought I had. She gets Piper to doubt herself & convinces her to let her raise the baby. And that is the last time she sees Peter.
Fast forward to when Mimi, their daughter, is fifteen. Peter convinces Piper to see Mimi while his mom is in China. Their daughter's therapist says Mimi needs to see her. She comes for a week. Only his mom comes home early after spraining her ankle. And it spirals as Peter injured himself & can't go get her. He doesn't tell Piper until the night before. I forgot to mention Piper is engaged. To the ex-boyfriend. Yet they keep getting put into compromising positions. And their poor daughter keeps thinking they are getting back together.
I hate to ruin an ending so I won't! This book is hilarious! Such a laugh out loud read. Full of twist after funny twist.
