Meryl Wilsner's spicy romance, their first with a nonbinary lead, where two lifelong best friends go on a nonrefundable honeymoon together and discover sometimes to find a happily ever after, you just have to ask.

Elsie Hoffman has been engaged to her college boyfriend for a year and a half. Ginny Holtz has been in love with Elsie for almost a decade and a half.
When Elsie discovers her fiancé already planned their wedding and honeymoon as a surprise and she's expected to be in a white dress in seven days, she swiftly realizes she's let herself become too comfortable with a future she never wanted. She breaks things off, and a week later is on a plane to the Caribbean for her non-refundable honeymoon with her best friend Ginny instead.
Ginny thinks it's high time Elsie learned how to speak up for herself. So, they make a deal with her. For the next week, Elsie can have whatever she wants, wherever, however, and whenever she wants it, as long as she asks. They never expected Elsie to want them.
What starts as choosing activities and taking selfies soon turns to toe-curling kisses and much, much more. But what happens when the honeymoon is over?
Meryl Wilsner's My Best Friend's Honeymoon is about not only learning to ask for what you want, but for the happiness you deserve.

      Lifelong best friends consider their relationship in a new light in the latest from Wilsner (Cleat Cute). Elsie Hoffman has drifted into an engagement with college boyfriend Derrick but doesn't seem to want to plan her wedding. It's not until Elsie's fianc� decides to surprise her with an already planned wedding and honeymoon that Elsie finally realizes that this relationship isn't what she wants and breaks up with him. Elsie's best friend, Ginny Holtz, has secretly been in love with Elsie for most of their life and will take whatever Elsie wants to give them. When Elsie and Ginny go on her and Derrick's nonrefundable honeymoon to a gorgeous tropical island, Ginny discovers that what Elsie really wants is Ginny. As the two finally explore their sexual desires, bigger questions emerge, such as whether people so wrapped up in each other's lives know who they are on their own. VERDICT Readers looking for nonbinary main characters, sapphic friends-to-lovers romance, and sexy vacation novels will appreciate this heartfelt exploration of what it means to fall in love with someone you have known almost your entire life.--Sierra Wilson

      An island resort vacation allows longtime best friends to realize and act on their deeper feelings for each other. Elsie Hoffman has not been sure about many things in her life, but when her fianc� surprises her by planning their whole wedding and setting the date for one week away, she realizes she doesn't want to marry him and breaks it off. The planned honeymoon is nonrefundable, so Elsie decides to go on it with her best friend, Ginny Holtz. Even before Ginny figured out their gender, they'd fallen in love with Elsie. In high school, they asked Elsie out, but Elsie said no. Ginny kept on loving Elsie while telling themself friendship was enough. At the Caribbean resort, Ginny tries to help Elsie figure out what she wants in life and find the courage to go after it by setting a rule that Elsie gets whatever she wants on this vacation, but only if she asks for it. Elsie admits to herself that what she wants is Ginny, and their trip turns into a series of sexual encounters. When the honeymoon is over, though, the pair have to figure out how their lives fit together back home, particularly as they each pursue their professional aspirations. Wilsner's fourth queer romance delivers high heat but suffers from uneven pacing and slight conflict. Elsie and Ginny learn about their sexual preferences through open communication as they explore new territory together. Outside of the bedroom, though, there isn't much development of them as a couple; there is some individual growth in the latter part of the book, but it feels more tacked on than integral to the story. Super spicy but lacking a robust romantic relationship arc.

      In Wilsner's latest, Ginny is at a job they hate, and has been in love with their best friend, the chronically indecisive Elsie, since they were both kids. After Elsie's fianc� surprises her with the wedding she had been putting off, she realizes she cannot marry him, and breaks it off. The only hang up is the non-refundable honeymoon that he had already paid for, and insists she take. Elsie convinces Ginny to come with her on the romantic vacation. Armed with a plan to find herself and decide what she really wants in life, under Ginny's thoughtful urging, Elsie slowly discovers that her best friend is the one thing she knows she wants. The problem is, Ginny failed to mention that in order to come on the trip, they had to quit their job. Elsie as a character may sometimes frustrate readers with her inability to make a decision, but the true friends-to-lovers story will enchant many. Fans of spice with sweet romance will love Ginny and Elsie, as will any reader searching for queer and/or non-binary romance.
