From bestselling author Mike Gayle, a story about exes and how to get over them. Or not.
Reuben thought he would spend the rest of his life with Beth, until she broke his heart six months ago. He is not even remotely over her, so he is devastated to hear she is getting married—this weekend.
Now he is faced with the ultimate question: what should he do on the day of the wedding? Grieve? Disrupt the ceremony? Or do everything in his power to pretend it is not happening?
Enlisting the help of his friends, Reuben is all set to mark the occasion with distraction on a grand scale: Ferraris, champagne, and a VIP box at the races.
But on the morning of the Big Day, Reuben gets a phone call that not only derails his elaborate itinerary: it may well change his life completely…
A story that asks: just how far would you go to get over the love of your life?
