An original, compelling and stand-out queer romcom, perfect for fans of Queenie and Detransition, Baby.

Julia loves her family. They stood by her when she came out as a woman and have been nothing but supportive of her life in New York. So when her brother asks her to be ‘best woman’ in his wedding, how could she say no?

Now though, Julia’s facing a week in her hometown dealing with bridezilla and her cronies, her parents’ messy post-divorce relationship, and a mountain of old memories she’s done her best to avoid. She’s totally fine.

That is, until Julia learns that Kim Cameron – gorgeous, self-assured, and the object of Julia’s unrequited high school crush – is maid of honour.

Thinking no harm will come of it, Julia tells a tiny little lie to win Kim over. But the lie quickly snowballs, jeopardizing both their blossoming attraction and Julia’s relationship with her family. As Julia struggles through the wedding week and tensions begin to boil over, can the best woman fix her worst mistake?

Praise for Best Woman

BEST WOMAN absolutely sparkles with all the wit, charm, and drama of the best 90’s rom-coms, and does it in pitch perfect prose

Torrey Peters, bestselling author of DETRANSITION, BABY

Irresistibly fresh, bright, funny, and bursting with singular voice, this is the kind of romance I’ve been waiting for

Casey McQuiston, bestselling author of Red, White and Royal Blue

A deliciously clever and relentlessly hilarious firecracker of a debut . . . smart, sexy, and endlessly entertaining

Kristen Arnett

Irreverently funny and tear-jerkingly tender, Best Woman takes the wedding cake as my favorite debut of the year
