My Ex-Husband's Ex-Husband, written by Rachel Cohn and Melissa DeLa Cruz.
When two powerhouse authors get together to write a romantic comedy of epic proportions, you know the product is going to be excellent!
In this lively Romantic Comedy, we visit Audrey and Ian. They were best friends in college - up until they both fell in love with the same man, Beau. Beau met Audrey and Ian while they were doing a semester abroad in Vienna. The love triangle thickens when first Audrey, and then Ian, marry Beau. And then divorce him. It has been 20 years since the friends have last seen each other. The oldest of Beau and Audrey's children is getting married in Vienna and the entire family is showing up. There's just one problem - nobody can find Beau.
In order to save the wedding, Audrey and Ian join forces to find Beau. As they scour the countryside for their wandering ex-husband, they find themselves rediscovering their friendship and rehashing old wrongs.
Every chapter of this book was delightful. Dynamic authors on their own, by each giving voice to a single character they really flesh out the characters and bring them to life. I believe that this gave the book more depth, as we were able to more fully explore the main characters.
And what characters they are! Ian and Audrey, reliving the absolute best and worst of their study abroad in Vienna. I could feel the joy of their friendship as well as the stress that they had lived through their shared relationship (and it's subsequent failure) with Beau. I could be friends with Audrey. She seems like my kind of woman. Ian is a character that I would absolutely love to meet and spend time with.
If you are looking for a lighthearted read, this is the book for you!
