Author: Carrie Aarons

Release Date: June 24, 2018
Blurb
You know that pact you make with your childhood best friend of the opposite sex? The one where, if you’re both still single, lonely and hopeless at thirty, you’ll marry each other?
This is the story about what happens when you hit the big three-oh and have to make good on that pinky promise.
Personally, I think love, romance and all of that nonsense is a crock of, well, you know. And Reese Collins, the boy who used to put worms in my hair at backyard barbecues, knows that better than anyone.
But when he moves to the same city I’ve happily, and singly, inhabited for years, memories of oaths past resurface. Reese is like a dog with a bone; a really hot dog and that bone just happens to be me.
He won’t stop hounding me, and the crazy thing is, my frigid, traitorous heart is starting to cave. For my best friend.
It seems so far off, when you’re a kid playing Monopoly in your treehouse. But when that clock strikes midnight on your thirtieth birthday, and you’re standing alone in front of a grocery store-bought cupcake, a childhood deal to walk down the aisle doesn’t seem so silly anymore.

Review:
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
The cover is perfect and it matches the title. I can say that is the best thing about this book with Reese coming to a close second place. It's funny and it gives us an idea of what is supposed to happen inside the book. Too bad that doesn't match the story. I was expecting an arranged marriage where the main characters would have gotten married and tried to navigate through the marital life and gradually falling for each other. Instead, I got a book where I wasn't even sure that Erin was actually in love with Reese and I didn't even get the feeling of a happy ending for them. Preston and Jilly had a better ending if you ask me. Heck, Reese and Preston had a better (b)romance than what he and Erin had. I liked how she stood up for herself in her workplace, but she was too hung up on her parents' divorce and on not having something more with Reece and in the end, she managed to get on my nerves more than anything else. Reese was a much better character who had some goals and dreams in his life and went for them. He could have been paired with another woman because Erin didn't deserve him. The book was a disappointment. I was expecting a wedding to happen somewhere in this book like in the first half of the book. Erin and Reece's "romance" felt way too forced to me and I simply disliked it. I wouldn't recommend the book.
