Story

The story

Stella has spent five years chasing Aiden, while Jimmy, Aiden's younger brother, has spent the same years chasing Stella's friend Bree. On New Year's Eve, both are stood up—and then see social media posts revealing that Aiden and Bree are now a couple. Reeling from the betrayal, Stella and Jimmy commiserate. Jimmy proposes they make a go of it and marry before Aiden and Bree do. Stella agrees, and they plunge into wedding plans. But when Aiden shows up at Stella's apartment, furious and demanding to know if she is really going to marry Jimmy, the hasty arrangement is thrown into question. Can Stella and Jimmy go through with a marriage built on revenge, or will their tangled feelings for the past pull them apart?

Opening excerpt

Then, on New Year's Eve, I waited at the movie theater for an Aiden who never came. And at the amusement park, Jimmy waited for a Bree who never showed.

Instead, at the stroke of midnight, we both saw their social media posts, announcing to the world that they were a couple.

Later, we found ourselves commiserating. He was the one who said it first.
