This was a sweet contemporary fiction, with a hint of romance. Dom has always been the token gay best friend. His two besties are getting married and he finds himself in the middle of their premarital issues, feeling forced to pick one side or the other. He has the task of attending both the bachelor and bachelorette parties, trying his best to keep all the secrets from each. At the bachelor party, a new love interest for Dom peaks, from someone who is least suspected. 

All of the characters had great development from beginning to end. For Dom, he finds himself. He realizes that he needs to stop trying to be who everyone wants him to be, he only needs to be himself. The side characters also had great development. 

The plot was fairly entertaining, I enjoyed the friendship and relationship drama. The plot made this one a fun, quick listen. 

My one complaint is on the audio side alone. I hated how the narrator attempted to make his voice sound uber manly to fit the voice of Bucky. I get it, he’s a manly guy. However, it was a far-fetched and awful attempt to voice masculinity😂Every time “Bucky” spoke, I couldn’t help but chuckle.
