Title: It's Only Make-Believe

Quote: "It was supposed to be a simple answer. One word. Yes."
But Zoey, a runaway bride, says no, bolts out in her wedding gown, and hijacks a taxi in which a young man is leaving a wedding scene in a tuxedo. Zoey doesn't want to go home and Mark, a doctor, wants to find out more about the lovely lunatic who's plopped into the seat beside him, so they ride around town for a few hours (Mark can afford it already--he must not be all that young). Then they go to a hotel, make some show of trying to explain that they're not married to each other, and share a honeymoon suite but not the actual bed. Mark's ability to sleep on the couch impresses Zoey. This is a sweet romance so you know it will end with Zoey saying yes to something. Another wedding, or just a normal date? That's about all the suspense this book has.
If you believe that young people should not be allowed outdoors off a leash, but you want to imagine being one, this book is for you. I would not let children see it. It contains no age-inappropriate sex but it might communicate low expectations.
Anyway, I laughed.
