Story

The story

Zack's girlfriend, Sophie Selby, and his best friend, Darren Norton, have spent the past month bickering over every detail of his wedding, and Zack has been left to referee. When they clash over the flowers the night before the ceremony, Zack suddenly begins to hear their thoughts — and discovers that their supposed rivalry hides something far more intimate.

A deliberate burn to his own hand gives Zack an excuse to postpone the wedding, and the thoughts he hears in the hospital confirm what he dreads. Sophie and Darren are secretly together, and the house Zack was meant to share with Sophie after the wedding turns out to be the home Darren has been living in for months.

As the truth about their betrayal comes into focus, Zack must decide how to face the two people he trusted most.

Opening excerpt

Sophie wants something classic and grand. Darren insists romantic and picture-perfect is the way to go.

They go through dozens of plans, arguing over everything from the guest count and Sophie's dress to the reception menu.

And every time, I end up playing referee.

Sophie rarely wins an argument with Darren, though somehow, we still end up going with whatever works best for her.

They both joke that I'm the lucky one because I get to sit back and let them handle everything.

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
