summary: After Julia earns her graduate degree in hospitality but before she finds a job, her flighty mother announces her plan to get married a week later in Belize. She asks Julia to plan the wedding with her fiancé's son, who turns out to be none other than Carson, the guy who treated her poorly when she was his tutor during high school. Fortunately, he seems to have changed for the better, but that doesn't mean she can trust him, can she?
tropes:
- enemies-to-lovers
- high school crush

what I liked:
