Match Me

Bonnie has been in love with Chase Somers since elementary school and seeing him at the altar with the absolute wrong girl causes her to do the unthinkable—toss a shoe in his direction in order to try and stop it. But she doesn’t count on the shoe knocking him out. Nor does she count on the entire church knowing it was her who did the throwing. The shoe doesn’t stop the wedding, but it does make her the laughingstock of her town. As Bonnie copes with both the embarrassment of her actions and the loss of the boy she has always loved, her best friend Jill attempts to yank her out of her despair by pushing her to use Match Me, an online dating service. Despite her skepticism, Bonnie agrees to go on a few dates, dates that end up going comically bad. Convinced that she will be single forever, an unanticipated complication causes Bonnie to take stock of her life and the people around her. Was she really ever in love with Chase Somers? Or was loving him simply the easy thing to do? Crashing the wedding—and throwing that shoe—just may end up being the smartest thing she's ever done.

This was a super fast, easy book to read. It had me laughing to the very end. Bonnie's childhood best friend, who is also her ex-boyfriend is getting. She shows up to the wedding intent to crash it and change his mind, convince him to marry her instead. The quircky wedding crashing girl doens't have much good luck these days. Her best friend convinces her to date other people and try to forget about Chase. Besides, he's on a fantastic honeymoon with his new bride.
