Before I Do by Sophie Cousens

Book Excerpt:

"A heartwarming and playful novel about the ones we love and the ones we lose by the New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year. 

What would you do if 'the one that got away' turned up the night before your wedding?

    Head-in-the-stars Audrey is about to marry down-to-earth Josh. Though they are opposites, they have a healthy, stable relationship; Josh is just what Audrey needs. But romance should be unpredictable and full of fireworks, and as the big day approaches, Audrey wonders if Josh really is "The One."
 
    So, when Josh's sister shows up at the rehearsal dinner with Fred, Audrey's "What If? Guy"—the man she met six years ago and had one fantastic day with—Audrey finds herself torn. Surely Fred's appearance the night before she 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 ask herself: Is fate trying to stop her from making a huge mistake? Or does destiny just have a really twisty sense of humor?"

Review:
"Before I Do" by Sophie Cousens

My Assessments:

'Before I Do' was quite an engaging, unexpected contemporary romance. We find Audrey contemplating which one she wants to marry...Josh or Fred? The story will leave one wondering 'who is your soulmate, and what if? The author did an excellent job of telling the story in alternating timelines that will keep one's interest throughout the read. Miss Audrey was quite a complex character being 'liable, witty, and relatable,' to say the least. After finishing up the story, one will conclude that Audrey finally came into her learning to appreciate what she had.
