When she was 16 years old, Emmie Blue attached a message to a balloon and let it go from her home in England, hoping that someday someone would find it. As luck would have it, a British boy who recently moved to France found it and sent her an email, starting a friendship that spanned the English Channel. In the 14 years since she sent it, Emmie slowly fell in love with her balloon-finder, Lucas, and when they meet up for dinner in a seaside restaurant, she's gutted to find out that instead of returning her unspoken feelings, Lucas wants Emmie to be the "best woman" at his wedding to someone else. Emmie is suddenly thrown into wedding planning for a marriage she doesn't want to have happen, attempting to sort out her emotions while being a good friend.
This is a fun, and funny book that would make for an excellent romantic comedy movie (I'll admit I was casting it in my head as I read it). Is it completely believable? Not at all. Doesn't mean it can't be an enjoyable read though.
