USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

"A romantic comedy that's fun and flirty, young and fresh." – PopSugar 

Named one of the Best Romances of 2020 by EW, Cosmo, OprahMag, Buzzfeed, Insider, and NPR! 

Mia Sosa delivers a sassy, steamy #ownvoices enemies-to-lovers novel, perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Helen Hoang, and Sally Thorne!

A wedding planner left at the altar? Yeah, the irony isn’t lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina’s offered an opportunity that could change her life. There’s just one hitch… she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials. 

Marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand. Then he learns he’ll be working with his brother’s whip-smart, stunning—absolutely off-limits—ex-fiancée. And she loathes him. 

If they can nail their presentation without killing each other, they’ll both come out ahead. Except Max has been public enemy number one ever since he encouraged his brother to jilt the bride, and Lina’s ready to dish out a little payback of her own. 

Soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them. Still, this star-crossed couple can never be more than temporary playmates because Lina isn’t interested in falling in love and Max refuses to play runner-up to his brother ever again...

"The Worst Best Man is rom-com perfection. . . Sosa has a gift with words that’s infectious and wry, one that keeps the pages turning in delight." — Entertainment Weekly

Everyone knows I love rom-coms. But it's been a long time since I've read one like The Worst Best Man. I was laughing so hard, and the pranks had to be one of the best parts!

Carolina Santos was, unfortunately, left at the altar, but the runaway groom didn't feel like delivering the news, so he told his brother, Max, to tell Carolina. This didn't sit well with Max because he also might have been the cause for his brother running out on his wedding day.

Fast-forward and we have Carolina being an excellent wedding planner! She has the opportunity to pitch an idea to an amazing hotel chain. What she doesn't expect is meeting her ex-fiance, Andrew, and Max. She ended up acting like she didn't know either them; sadly, she had to work with one of them, and of course, she picked Max. What came out of it was some glorious pranking I was totally in for!

By the time Lina's through with me, I won't just be a shell of myself; no, I'll be a mutated version that wears V-neck cashmere sweaters, relaxes in Adirondack chairs, and chortles when someone tells a joke.

The romance was absolutely amazing. Max and Lina fit so well together. I especially loved how Max took everything in stride when it came to Lina pranking him all the time. Kudos to Max for being mature and accepting that he deserved all of these pranks coming to him.

"Let me in again, baby. Let me be the one who'll have your back. [...] The one who'll make you cry for the sappiest reasons."

Lina's family goes in the books of one of my top fave families! They remind me so much of my own family. It comes to show that Hispanics are loud and we are freaking proud of it! The author brought so much Brazilian culture to the book, which had me falling in love with Brazil. The food sounded absolutely delicious! I'm now wanting to plan a trip to Brazil and eat everything I can find there.

Overall, The Worst Best Man is hilarious, boisterous in the best way possible, full of pranks and a love so sweet and swoony, you will want to steal Max from Lina.
