Till Summer Do Us Part (Deluxe Edition)

Every now and again I find an author of a genre that I didn’t know I could absolutely fall in love with and for a great Rom Com book Meghan has become my favorite go to author when a need a little humor mixed with romance and just an absolute pleasure of falling in love with characters on a page. This book is easily in my top five in romcom.

Where do I start...
The characters great!
The plot amazing!
Spiciness off the charts!

It was the perfect blend of hilarious situations, romantic moments and beautiful chaos. I loved the idea of a marriage summer camp, completed with fun activities and playing Never Have I Ever by the camp fire.

This will be a book I reread every year!

Let's talk ART! The illustrations deserve its own five star rating. I pre-ordered both the Deluxe Edition from Books Are Awesome with the exclusive spicy vellum overlay, as well as the Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition. Each and every image was chef's kiss, and matched the descriptions perfectly!

We need more images!!!!!!!

Scottie Price lies about having a husband and ends up fake-married to Wilder Wells, her best friend’s improv-loving millionaire brother. The lie spirals into an eight-day summer marriage camp with her coworkers, forced proximity, shared cabins, fake marriage chaos, and a lot of rom-com embarrassment.

Till Summer Do Us Part follows Scottie Price after a panicked workplace lie traps her inside a fake marriage with Wilder Wells. Wilder is her best friend’s wealthy and improv-obsessed brother. Their first counseling appointment spirals into an eight-day marriage retreat with Scottie’s coworkers. They end up sharing a cabin and performing relationship exercises that begin to expose real attraction and unresolved pain. The plot had plenty of romantic comedy potential. A fake husband, forced proximity, one bed, and a summer retreat should have created an entertaining escape. The characters’ constant sexual commentary and juvenile humor made much of the book feel like listening to high school students trying to shock each other. Wilder’s lip ring and emo-inspired appearance also made him difficult to picture as an appealing adult romantic lead. Scottie’s workplace created another major obstacle to my enjoyment of the story. Camping with coworkers at a marriage retreat felt wildly inappropriate when the activities pushed employees to discuss sex and private relationship problems together. Sanders was cruel, invasive, and painfully familiar as the coworker whose behavior poisons an entire workplace while leadership allows it to continue. His presence added frustration for me. The length made the writing's weakness more noticeable. Scenes stretched long past their natural stopping points, jokes continued after they had lost their humor, and the retreat began to feel endless. I repeatedly lost focus because the book seemed determined to extend situations that had already made their point. Scottie and Wilder became more relatable near the conclusion. Wilder softened his exaggerated performance and showed real feelings for Scottie. Scottie confronted the damage caused by her former husband, Matt. Their growth gave the final chapters a relationship that began to feel more adult. Don't let my opinions stop you from trying out this book. Pick up Till Summer Do Us Part if you enjoy outrageous sexual humor, exaggerated characters, workplace comedy, and lengthy fake-marriage romances.
