"Bursting with laughs and so much love, Sidney Karger's debut novel delivers a truly refreshing spin on the romantic comedy…A big-hearted, feel-good summer escape."—Anderson Cooper, #1 New York Times bestselling author and journalist
When two best men in a wedding party fall for each other, they realize love isn’t a piece of cake in this hilarious and heartfelt romantic comedy debut by screenwriter Sidney Karger.
Max Moody thought he had everything figured out. He’s trying to live his best life in New York City and has the best friend a gay guy could ask for: Paige. She and Max grew up next door to each other in the suburbs of Chicago. She can light up any party. She finishes his sentences. She’s always a reliable splunch (they don’t like to use the word brunch) partner. But then Max’s whole world is turned upside down when Paige suddenly announces some huge news: she’s engaged and wants Max to be her man of honor. Max was always the romantic one who imagined he would get married before the unpredictable Paige and is shocked to hear she’s ready to settle down. But it turns out there’s not just one new man in Paige’s life—there are two.
There's the groom, Austin, who’s a perfectly nice guy. Then there's his charming, fun and ridiculously handsome gay younger brother, Chasten, who is Austin's best man. As Paige’s wedding draws closer, Max, the introverted Midwesterner, and Chasten, the social butterfly East Coaster, realize they’re like oil and water. Yet they still have to figure out how to coexist in Paige’s life while not making her wedding festivities all about them. But can the tiny romantic spark between these two very different guys transform their best man supporting roles into the leading best men in each other’s lives?

Title: Good read
Review: Overall, I enjoyed this book, but I did feel that at times, there was way too much detail needed for some of the "throw away" characters. I will definitely read more of Sidney Karger's books.

Title: Stunning Debut Novel
Review: Iâm a tough critic and donât read many rom-coms but this book had me falling for these characters while laughing out loud multiple times. The realistic emotion also sneaks up on you and there are lots of poignant moments that had me crying. And then I laughed some more. Very impressive and I had to write a review to say I how excited I am to read more from this author!

Title: Fun, enjoyable and make me laught
Review: Really a nice twist on an old tale. In this case two worlds collide with many fun twists and turns. I enjoyed the character development and where Mr. Karger took us. I would recommend this to anyone looking to laugh, and enjoy a roller coaster which captures the magic of attraction that transforms into a a wild ride with humor and heartache. Take your time and enjoy a fun escape.

Title: Comedic page-turner.
Review: Never had I read a book so fast. I felt like I was binge-watching my favorite TV series that I couldn't get enough of. Totally engrossed in the characters and the story. Kept me going until the end. My only disappointment is that you don't have another book for me to read (YET!) Looking forward to your next book. Thanks.

Title: Cute!
Review: I enjoyed this a lot! It went in directions different then I thought it was going to but I enjoyed the slow burn between Max and Chasten an the tension between the two! I also liked their adversarial aspects though I thought more of that could have been included! Overall a really cute story that will have readers swooning!

Review: I saw SIdney on WWHL and decided to give this book a whirl. The three main characters are so relatable and the story was familiar yet new with some real bite and great dialogue. I am so looking forward to his next book! This was a fun read and one I definitely recommend
