The Wedding Crasher
Goodreads Choice Award
Nominee for Best Romance (2022)The USA Today bestselling author of The Worst Best Man is back with another hilarious rom-com about two strangers who get trapped in a lie and have to fake date their way out of it...
Just weeks away from ditching DC for greener pastures, Solange Pereira is roped into helping her wedding planner cousin on a random couple’s big day. It’s an easy gig... until she stumbles upon a situation that convinces her the pair isn’t meant to be. What’s a true-blue romantic to do? Crash the wedding, of course. And ensure the unsuspecting groom doesn’t make the biggest mistake of his life.
Dean Chapman had his future all mapped out. He was about to check off “start a family” and on track to “make partner” when his modern day marriage of convenience went up in smoke. Then he learns he might not land an assignment that could be his ticket to a promotion unless he has a significant other and, in a moment of panic, Dean claims to be in love with the woman who crashed his wedding. Oops.
Now Dean has a whole new item on his to-do list: beg Solange to be his pretend girlfriend. Solange feels a tiny bit bad about ruining Dean’s wedding, so she agrees to play along. Yet as they fake-date their way around town, what started as a performance for Dean’s colleagues turns into a connection that neither he nor Solange can deny. Their entire romance is a sham... there’s no way these polar opposites could fall in love for real, right?

fake dating is always gonna hit every single damn time. this was a cute, funny (like i actually LOLed), fast, and swoon worthy read. i knew there was something about dean and solange as soon as i read about them in “the worst best man.”
there’s something about a man that “doesn’t believe in love” and a women who does dynamic that’s always gonna be my bread and butter. dean is the type of guy that’s overly organized and it’s the way that solange disrupts his peace that had me giggling and kicking my feet in bed. he was so miserable and pathetic towards the end and it was sooo poetic to me 😩
this is definitely a step up from “the worst best man” and honestly everything it should have been. this one is definitely the strongest out of the two. the banter, the sarcasm, the equal parts humor, and romance was too fucking good. ending was kinda rushed but still had me smiling

Can you imagine to fall for a woman who ruined your wedding day, faking to be a your girlfriend to save your career! Yes, another fake relationship, not enemies but partly strangers/ opposites to lovers troupes hook you from the beginning!
Of course entertainment and so much laugh out loud moments are guaranteed when you read from Worst Best Man’s brilliant author Mia Sosa ! Another best part of the book is the main character Dean Chapman is best friend of Worst Best Man’s Max! Whoop whoop! It’s pleasure to welcome one of my favorite characters back!
As I mentioned Dean’s wedding ceremony was ruined when Solange Pereira decided to intervene and push the bride tell the truth about her feelings. ( Solange was at the wedding for helping her cousin: but her eavesdropping of bride and her childhood friend’s private conversation which includes bride’s love confession to him, changed everything. She thought the bride was making a mistake by marrying with Dean. She had to mind her own business and shut up but did she do it, nope! She crashed the wedding!)
Interestingly Dean didn’t show any dramatic reaction after finding out his bride never fell for him. The wedding idea was the part of his long check list for a man like him who’s uptight, reasonable planner who focuses his goals and believes the importance of the structure helps him stay grounded. At least he’s honest with his opinions and lack of feelings.
But when he blurts out the lie that Solange who prevented him to marry with Ella, is his longtime friend he starts having feelings for, things get changed.
He meets with Solange to convince her for fake dating for a few work meetings to guarantee his partnership. Of course Solange accepts his offer to make it up for him. She still feels bad for ruining her wedding.
There’s nothing possibly happen between two polar opposite people! Solange who is adventurous, hilarious, entertaining, eccentric. They’re like ice and fire! But what if the attraction takes control and push them do things they never imagine!
Well: the ideas of Solange and Dean’s adventurous dating journey were amazingly creative including accidentally finding themselves in sex party, getting listed for throwing axes, karaoke night which ends Dean’s singing Ginuwine’s Pony while he’s performing Magic Mike’s delicious moves ( okay, I admit this is the most entertaining and hottest parts of the book)
I loved both of the characters and their sizzling chemistry. Only two bad things kept me give more stars : I found some chapters a little wordy. With less depictions and more dialogues, it could be easier to concentrate to the main story. And I have to admit, I found Dean a little obnoxious at first, it took a little time for me to like him but how can I resist to a character who can dance ( or whatever he does) like Magic Mike!
I’m giving four definitely enjoyable, smart, laugh out loud, hilarious stars!
I absolutely read anything this amazing author writes without thinking any further.
Special thanks to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.

Updated rating: 2 - 2.5 stars
Someone just reminded me of the pussy poem eher he talks about how much he loves it. I don’t know how I did not remember this but now I cannot look at Dean the same way again. So my rating has been lowered.
I will still say that I can’t dislike Solange bc I really enjoy her character and Dean was one of my favorites in the first book but wow.
——————
Old review:
This is a romantic comedy 10000000%
Now about the characters: Dean was a good guy from the beginning and I loved how he finally got out of his shell in the end for Solange.
Solange was funny , sweet and just super caring especially with her family. It made me love the entire universe even more and whenever Max and Alina showed up I got happy.

this book started off SO good, but somehow fell flat for me once i got to the halfway mark. i did receive this as an ARC pretty early on and wonder if the finished copy might tie together some of the problems i have with the plot and pacing. the characters also really didn’t have any chemistry and i found that i was forcing myself to actually finish reading this book.
i really did have high expectations considering how much i absolutely loved The Worst Best Man by this author, so overall i’m kind of sad i didn’t enjoy this book as much as i thought i was going to in the end
2.5 stars but rounding to 3

Quite frankly, I feel high.
High on my emotions.
High on happiness.
High.
Happy to the point where I feel slightly delirious.
Is Mia Sosa becoming an all-time favourite author of mine after only reading two books by her? Possibly.
I told you I’m high.
I don’t even have any experience in that arena, but let me tell you I understand addictions.
Alright, let’s chill. 🤐
I had no expectations going into this book, to be honest. I loved The Worst Best Man, and I was anticipating Dean’s story, but I think there was a delay in this book being released, so the initial excitement I had waned a little even though I pre-ordered this.
The meet-cute was hilarious. Our heroine crashes the wedding of the hero after overhearing that his soon-to-be-bride is in love with someone else. Said bride declared it out loud. Our heroine just couldn’t stand by and let the hero marry and so she blurts it out at the ceremony. Without knowing the full story.
My girl was being a good Samaritan.
Our hero knew that getting into this ‘marriage’ wasn’t going to be a traditional one. It was one of convenience. It would help with the job. They had certain things in common, it would have been a surface level relationship with no feelings involved. All because he lived in a rigid-like way and had goals to achieve.
Honestly. Such idiocy.
But a trauma response nonetheless.
The hero and heroine proceed to fake-date for reasons that you can find out for yourself, because it’s hilarious, and banter and friendship flourishes from this setup. They form something neither were expecting and it’s fuckin’ delightful seeing them both navigate this through. Because there was a deal they had to uphold. But feelings got involved. Their chemistry was insane.
Character driven stories are my thing, but this had plenty of plot to keep the story moving and it was entertaining as hell. The balance of heart and humour was done right for me. I always love it when vulnerabilities and traumas are explored in my stories and the side characters shined as much as our main characters too.
So naturally, this story worked for me on every level. I had such an incredible time reading it!
I really hope Mia Sosa has plans to continue on with the series.

Yes Sosa! You did that!
Yes, another fake dating book. At this point, I’m pretty sure there are exactly 4,276 fake-dating books out there. Source: Trust me.
I loved these characters! Every one of them is a certified comedian and I loved it. Books that make me laugh have my whole heart.
I loved how pragmatic Dean was: a checklist kind of guy. My man gave Solange a printed study guide for a smooth fake dating experience *cackles uncontrollably*. We explored why he feels the need to be this way and it did make sense. It made me connect to him more. Of course, Solange was more on the opposite side, not completely, but she does have a little bit of a free spirit. I desperately need her to be my friend. Some parts of their interaction were definitely on the awkward side, but I found it awfully cute. I’m glad their relationship wasn’t some sort of instant attraction but a love that developed slowly and deeply. Not claiming this is a slow burn though but absolutely not insta love. I also enjoyed the really steamy times. Sosa did not come to play with those ones.
I loved Solange’s family. I always get so jealous of characters with families like these that are really nosy but are always there for you. Even Dean wanted to get into the bliss that comes with a family like this.
I don’t remember anything from The Worst Best Man
, but per my rating it looks like I also really enjoyed it. That being said, I will be religiously looking forward to the rest of Sosa’s books.

The Wedding Crasher by Mia Sosa is a 2022 Avon publication.
The premise here is a familiar one- the fake date/ opposites attract trope/ romantic comedy. The reviews for this convinced me to add it to my TBR list, and the blurb did sound promising.
The story was a mixed bag for me, though. I’ve made it to a point where some humor and some threads that are now commonplace in nearly every romance novel are getting old or missing the mark for me...
Or maybe I’m just getting old. But- the story was also too busy for me, with too many characters, too many fake relationships, and all that chemistry everyone was raving about was MIA for me.
That said, I did like the big Brazilian family and cute way the story wrapped up and there were one or two hilarious moments that made me laugh- but the story didn’t have the sparkle or emotional depth I prefer in my romance novels.
Overall, I’m an outlier on this one. I wish there was a way to tell which one of these ‘cartoon’ cover romances will be a good fit for me, as it is getting harder and harder to get a feel for them in advance. I took a chance on this one and it didn’t work out quite like I had hoped… but I think I’m in the minority here- so by all means make sure you read through all the positive reviews for this one. You might have better luck with it than I did.

Cute and VERY steamy but a few too many relationships of convenience/fake dating going on for me! The plot was all over the place.
I loved the worst best man, but this felt a little flat in comparison for me. It was still fun and hot, but dragged a little in the second half.
I still loved the family and the Brazilian culture, and both Dean and Solange were decent characters. A pretty good read 🤵🤵🤵

i mean this in the nicest way possible but everything about this book was stupid. the characters, their reasons for fake dating etc. i’ve become very annoyed with fake dating trope because there’s no reason adults should be fake dating and this was no exception. i found the couple very awkward at first and the main character just… immature maybe? the reason for stopping the wedding in the beginning pissed me off because you do not know these people who cares if the bride was looking at another man?

I really loved THE WORST BEST MAN which I read last year. In THE WEDDING CRASHER, Solange is helping her wedding planner cousin when she overhears that the bride is secretly in love with someone else. She… you guessed it… announces this at the wedding and it is called off. Later she and the ex-groom, Dean, begin fake dating because both need fake partners for different events and there was a spark.
I had mixed feelings about this one. Things I LOVED. I thought the characters individually were so cute! I loved Solange and the way the author wrote her family and culture. I loved her relationship with her roommate and best friend (the bartender—so funny.) I loved Dean and his nemesis relationship with the other lawyer at work he was competing with. The dialogue in this was hilarious. I also thought that Dean and Solange started off with some amazing sparks and chemistry. I felt that the further I read, the more this sort of lost energy. I didn’t hate it and I finished it. But I would agree with other reviewers that said the first half of the book was stronger than the second. I still love this author and think she has a wickedly funny writing voice and I look forward to seeing what she writes next. 4/5 stars.

I enjoy this series a ton. I did like the first book, The Worst Best Man a little more but I think that's because it was the hate to love trope which is my all time favorite trope. This was equally adorable. steamy and I loved the chemistry between our 2 main characters. I did feel like the overall plot just kind of fell flat for me which is why I am rating it a 3 out of 5 but overall good romance read.

It was a cute read. And I thought that's all it would be till around 90%. Then Max happened. And Kimberly. And the tias. AND BRANDON. I LOVED THE LAST 10% OF THIS BOOK LIKE CRAZY.
Also, I'm Dean and Solange's love child and no, I won't elaborate.

June 5, 2022Dnfing this at around 25% because I'm bored and it reminds me a little too much of the Spanish love deception which still triggers the most violent part of my brain, even after 5 months.

Honestly, the inclusion of a karaoke scene featuring Ginuwine's "Pony" bumped this from a 3.5 to a 4 star. This is one of the truest rom coms I've read, in terms of really following both the structure and humor type of a movie rom com. Plot wise, this totally worked for me, but I did feel like the characters were rather flat. Still, all around, this was super fun and a worth sequel IMO

Absolutely precious main characters, numerous laugh-out-loud moments, and a pleasantly surprising plot progression.
Add in a phenomenal use of the fake dating trope—that won’t make you roll your eyes because it actually does make sense—and we have ourselves a winner!

This didn’t quite hit the highs of Worst Best Man but the fab family vibes are such a great time especially Natalia’s scenes – that girl is a riot in both books 🤣
The fake dating was fun, I enjoyed the set up and the exchange of dossiers – we know how much I love conversations between MCs…however as the book neared the end there was perhaps a little too many fake relationships going on/hinted at and the crescendo towards the ending became rather unbelievable even if the Tias involvement was entertaining af cos I adore this family and am not so secretly pulling for more stories from them especially Rey or Jaslene + B (found fam) 🤞
Sosa steps up the steam level in this one, I was not anticipating that party lolz, darn sneaky colleague but 🌶️ for our MCs bonding 😈
Peter was a giant 🍆, I hated all interactions with him and I had very little time for the cousin who visits from Brazil, what a 🐄 (soz cannot remember her name, again have left “review” too long to write 🙈)
Looking forward to seeing what Mia writes next, am deffo coming back for more 🙃
I just cannot help myself 😇
PS - honourable LOL shoutout to Pony Karaoke scene...so many unexpected gems of giggle'tastic moments 🤭

I'm a little sad I didn't love this one as much as The Worst Best Man. I just wasn't into the fake dating here and Dean lost his charm from the other book. 3.5 stars!

- fake dating
- one bed trope
- guy who doesn’t want to fall in love cause he thinks it’s a weakness / girl who only wants someone who’s 100% in
- dual pov
- COMEDY
- amazing family dynamic
- character development
- defending in front of family
this book really had it all and i had no choice but to love it. i loved dean from the worst best man and i was really looking forward to meeting solange. and it’s safe to say that they did not disappoint at all.

“It’s really that over the course of the weeks I’ve known you, I’ve gotten glimpses of what it would be like to be your person. I’ve gotten a taste of what it would be like to be the one loving you. And it kind of feels like an honor. Like maybe I don’t deserve you.”
We have fake dating, and they’re sharing the same bed! Two tropes I love so much. Imagine the person who crashes your wedding turns out to be the love of your life?
This rom-com was exactly what I needed. I could not stop laughing. This book follows Dean Chapman and Solange Pereira, they’re complete opposites. However, they miracously agree to fake date after she crashes Dean’s wedding, to help save Dean’s job! But their futures don’t align. Dean is a workaholic who thrives off planning goals for himself, and achieving it, so love doesn’t fit into his picture, and Solange knows that. She wants a partner that’ll be all in. It sounds like a recipe for disaster, so she constantly tries to convince herself that she shouldn’t develop any sort of attraction/feelings for Dean. I thought that it probably wouldn’t work.. How would it work? But GUYSSS. Watching Dean realize he might be catching feelings for Solange, he did things she loved, just because it makes her happy. The FASHION SHOW? UGH I LOVED THAT. THEIR FIRST KISS? I LOVED THAT TOO. HIM WANTING TO HAVE “THEIR OWN THING” UGH. The way Solange’s family accepted him? It felt like I was apart of their family too lol! I ADORED THE TIAS! The side characters were just as enjoyable! I loved her best friend, Brandon. I really hope his story is next. I also loved the cultural representation in this book as well! It really made me want to visit Brazil and try some of the delicious food the author described in the book!
But you know what I loved most? The ENDING. Gosh! If my future partner doesn’t crash my wedding, then I don’t want you! Thank you so much Netgalley for the ARC!!!

June 26, 2023A very likeable romance premised on double fake dating, which is to say they each have to be the other's faux-partner for different reasons and in different circumstances. One of which is 'hero needs a girlfriend to get a chance at partnership in his law firm'. I have to admit that I struggle with this particular premise, partly because I cannot conceive of an employer giving a monkey's about any of their employees having a personal life, and also because I can't help feeling that a law firm in particular would be aware of the issues re denying advancement opportunities to single staff in a "massive lawsuit waiting to happen" way, but whatever.
Granted the set-up, everything spools out very nicely indeed. The hero is Man Who Is Afraid To Love, but he's extremely nice with it and handles the (acknowledged-to-be) absurd situation with charm and enthusiasm. The heroine is a cracker, bouncing with life and energy. You get the feeling they are both having fun, so we have fun, and sometimes it's as simple as that. There's also a lovely long build up of sexual tension, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Well executed tropiness with delightful characters and highly enjoyable on its own terms.

I loved every moment of The Wedding Crasher!! Solange and Dean had this electric connection from the very start of the story. They played off each other and made each other better as the story unfolded. I laughed out loud numerous times as I read and it was just what I needed!

thank you to the publisher, l, and the author for letting me read an ARC of this amazing
story through NetGalley.
So this book trope is fake dating which is one of my favorite tropes
It starts with Solange who learns sth about the wedding and decides to crash it later on dean wants to go through a job promotion so he asks her to be his fake girlfriend since she is the one who ruined the wedding .I felt that the chemistry between max and Caroline was much stronger than dean and Solange but these two were cute too. Mia Sosa writing style is so lovely there were so many funny moments in this book that I enjoyed it a lot. The best part were the character development it was so relatable.overall it is going to be one the sweet rom coms of 2022.
My rating :4/5 stars

4⭐️ 2.5🌶
I fully bought this book on a whim on Apple Books to listen to because it had been on sale and was one that I had passed by at the bookstore a lot and I can tell you I regret not listening or picking and reading this a lot sooner because this was such a fun laugh out loud read that also had SPICE?! like what…..why did I think this was a closed doored/fade to black romance. Also it’s fake dating!!! Which I LOVE!!
Solange and Dean honestly just had me cracking up anytime they were near each other, I loved how they interacted and I felt like their chemistry was so believable!!!Also the narrator for Dean’s voice quite literally had me drooling over here!!
Would absolutely recommended if you are looking for a laugh out loud Romcom with fake dating 🤭!!!
