Fancy Meeting You Here
Fancy Meeting You Here | Julie Tieu
1 post | 2 read | 4 to read
Julie Tieu, an exciting and diverse voice in contemporary romance, returns with a romantic comedy in the vein of 27 Dresses that celebrates weddings and female friendships.
Every single one of Elise Ngo’s close girlfriends—Rebecca, Jesse, and Beth—is getting married within the same few months, and every single one of them has asked her to be both bridesmaid and florist. Though it’s a lot for her to juggle, the work and exposure is a boon to her struggling flower shop.
The stakes are high at Rebecca’s high-profile wedding, where the guests are mostly political connections of Rebecca’s parents. Desperate for the event to go off without a hitch, Elise enlists the help of an outside caterer who turns out to be Ben Yu, Rebecca’s elusive younger brother.
Though Ben is prickly and aloof, he offers Elise much needed business designing flowers for his mom’s campaign fundraisers and Elise begins to see there’s more to Ben than his gruff and handsome exterior. But their romance takes off as the political campaign ramps up, complicating their relationship with unforeseen consequences. Now always-the-bridesmaid Elise must fight for what she wants to finally get her own happily ever after.

First read of 2024 and it‘s this sweet story about a struggling florist whose best friends are all getting married one after the other - of course Elise is handling the flowers at all their weddings, as well as her bridesmaid duties. Her love interest Ben is an endearing but grumpy chef. I especially love that the weddings have Chinese touches, like tea ceremonies and door games. An enjoyable read with a sweet romance!
