Meeting Nick was
truly an accident – but Amelia finds that he’s one of the few people she can
count on.
Amelia Woods is a small-town wallflower who inherited her
grandmother’s flower shop. Despite her success in business, her love life has
ground to a halt. And then her temptation to spy on her ex-boyfriend’s wedding
leads her to a horrifying fender-bender – with Nick, the groomsman who happens
to be her ex’s new brother-in-law.
Meanwhile, William, Amelia’s younger brother, has proposed
to his girlfriend. Amelia would be excited except she has evidence that the
fiancée is not who she says she is. How can she be supportive and yet be the
protective big sister too? It seems Nick is the only one available for any
advice-giving, and he’s pretty good at it – and pretty fun to talk to. Amelia
and Nick continue online conversations about everything, but always lingering
in Amelia’s mind is the fear that he’ll realize who she is and what she was
doing at the church that day of the accident.
As Amelia works to craft the perfect flower arrangements
for other people – including a ninety-year-old “fairy godmother” named George –
she begins to wonder if real love is better than the dream. And if it is, will
Nick still be interested when he learns who she is?
As
expected, Katie Ganshert delivers a delightful bit of romance in “The Perfect
Arrangement,” a novella full of flowers, classic movie references and charming email banter. When Amelia literally runs into Nick (with her car, by accident), their
chance meeting begins an unexpected but very fun exchange of emails. Naturally,
their friendship doesn’t develop without its fair share of complications, but I
really enjoyed getting to know Amelia, with her shy quirks and love of
arranging flowers in her small Wisconsin town, as she determined whether a
chance at love was worth the risk. All in all, “The Perfect Arrangement” easily
makes another lovely addition to A Year of Weddings that won’t leave
fans of the collection disappointed. I loved it and would definitely recommend.
