Reasons to Be Loved by You (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781538782972)

Emily Henry's Funny Story meets The Family Stone in Bachelorette fan-favorite and New York Times bestselling author Hannah Brown's newest rom-com, a beach read full of banter, emotional authenticity, and female friendship.

Perfectionist and former pageant girl Nikki Bennet is looking forward to some much-needed down time with her family at their Georgia home by the lake. Though it's been a couple years, she's still not totally over her time on the reality show Loved By, which resulted in nationally-televised heartbreak when she learned her newly-chosen fiancé was seeing another woman all along.

But when, at the family's annual Fourth of July celebration, she finds out her little brother Cooper plans to marry her ex-fiancé's ex-girlfriend, Cara Lancolm--this summer, at the lakeside where Nikki always envisioned having her own wedding, no less--Nikki vows to stop their rushed, ill-advised union. And as the fireworks go off over the lake, Nikki discovers an unlikely ally in Cara's brother, the quirky and noncommittal Nate Lancolm. While Nikki and Nate begin "working together" to talk sense into their hasty siblings, they're surprised by the intense chemistry between them, which morphs quickly into a full-on secret fling.

If Nikki's being honest, this wedding-stoppers-with-benefits relationship with Nate is a welcome distraction from the mess of her love life--and from the sneaking suspicion that her family are keeping other secrets from her too. Secrets that might force Nikki to take a hard look at why she's been chasing perfection for so long, and where it's really gotten her.

Can Nikki and Nate prevent Cara and Cooper from making a huge mistake? Or will their efforts lead to an even more preposterous love story--their own?
