Rating: ***

This book is about two people on their wedding day, Jules and Will. All of their family and friends have traveled to an island inhabited only by two people, the wedding planner and her husband. Jules and Will try to enjoy their day, but as secrets are revealed, everyone is discovered for who they truly are.

This book had a good ending, but I did not like it until that part. I understand why the author switched between present and future, but it all felt a little disconnected. I did like, though, how the author switched between point of views. My favorite part of the book was how everything tied together at the end. It was very surprising and interesting to read about how the people were connected, even though they barely knew each other. Overall, I would only recommend this book to people who have a lot of patience. It is not that great of a book for the most part, but, in my opinion, the ending makes up for most of that.
