Meg is newly engaged to Hannah, and since Hannah is always traveling for work, Meg has to do the wedding planning by herself. It would be great if Meg's mom showed any interest in helping out, but unfortunately, she's still hoping Meg will reunite with her high school boyfriend (who's as gay as Meg is). When florist David finds Meg crying in his shop, he vows to help her achieve her wedding dreams, in part because his own parents rejected him for coming out. Soon Meg and David are inseparable, despite their new friendship, and Meg learns that family doesn't necessarily mean blood relatives.
There's always something nice about found-family stories, and this is definitely that, as both Meg and David find people in the neighborhood to support them as people and business owners. That said, there's a mismatch between the realism of Meg and David's family stories (and David's business challenges) and the wishful-thinking insta-love of their friendship — as wonderful as David's partner might be, the amount of time and money that he spends on someone he literally just met while his business is on the verge of going under... well, I just couldn't buy it, nor could I see how David's long-suffering partner could either. A quick read and an OK story.
