About this deal
Fans of Debbie Johnson, Holly Martin and Christie Barlow will love this heartwarming read from debut author, Carla Burgess ‘Funny and romantic, with a predictably good ending. The narration was light, funny and fresh, the charactars were lovely and the development of the plot was really cool. As more of the story unfolded I kept giggling because as readers, we were aware of the secret and her mum wasn’t, so ‘watching’ Emily and her beau trying to match their stories was absolutely hilarious. Slow-burn, fake-dating, that you might think, 'there's a thousand books with that trope', and you're right. Anyways, there's also something about the writing that makes it really clear that this is a debut book.
Marry Me Tomorrow caught me as an out-of-the-normal premise in a slew of similar holiday reads, so why not give it a go, I thought. An element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation. I've rented out a movie theater that we're going to tomorrow, which he thinks is just part of his Christmas gift/date. I don't really have any family or friends to share this with, but I'm so happy and excited that I just need to tell someone - even strangers on the internet. I seriously enjoyed this one, except one they fell in love a little too quickly and two we didn't get to see them in a real relationship.
This portrays the societal expectations and traditional norms associated with marriage, where the narrator and their partner become possessions to each other. Lydia especially, honestly I disliked Lydia enough I kept hoping a random piano would fall on her head.

It’s all well and good to see your family over Christmas; just as long as you haven’t told them that you have gotten married…. If someone came up to me with a cup of coffee and asked me to do them a favour I would politely take the coffee and be miffed that they forgot the sugar! The verses become darker and more unsettling, hinting at abuse and a growing realization of their partner's flaws ("Until I find you to be vile"). When you think you know how its going to go it doesnt something comes up so its a surprising ending.It’s the best part of her day, handing him a coffee every morning – but then, Emily never expected to offer him her hand in marriage, too… All that’s left is for Sam to say ‘I do’ – it’s the perfect plan! It wasn’t a good enough reason to let a stranger into her house and for most of it she resented her dad anyway. It was overall very entertaining, and I also liked the message: you can't let your past destroy your future.
I am sad that the author doesn’t have any of her works as audiobooks because I would really fly through them if I could double dip. Considering she's supposed to be Emily's best friend it's a huge detractor to loathe her as much as I did. surely not desperate to pluck a homeless man off the street, clean him up re clothe him and present him to her mother as her husband.
I’ll admit, I surrendered to this book and became its page mistress after reading the first couple of pages!
