Snagging a date?

Not a problem.

But one that meets my special requirements?

As the premier best-man-for hire in all of Manhattan, I promise discretion, so when I need a plus one for a couple of I dos, she needs to be A-Plus in reliability. Fortunately, I have a brilliant solution in asking my best friend's sister to go on my arm. Truly is my good friend, too, and I trust her completely.

Just look how discreet she's been about the time we spent the night together. But, it was only once, and it was months ago. We've been the souls of restraint ever since. I'm sure we can make it through these weddings without banging each other in the limo. Probably.

Plus, she needs my help with a business proposal.

A little I'll-scratch-your-back-you-scratch-mine doesn't have to lead to the bedroom, right?

Good thing we know our way around the friend zone. The treacherous, torturous all-too-easy to slide out of friend zone.

*This special production also includes a behind-the-scenes conversation with Andi Arndt and Shane East as well as a blooper reel!*

I really wanted to love it, especially after the first book in the series...but the multiple narrators (while immensely talented) were very hard for me to follow along with. I'm not sure if the production cut out words that described exactly WHO was speaking, or if it was my hearing impairment that made it confusing to follow along at times. I would have preferred a smaller ensemble, maybe add the two from the first book reprising their roles to Andi Arndt and Shane East.

The story itself was okay, and I really didn't like how much the characters "needed approval" from other people to admit their feelings etc.

This was so much fun!!

The story line was the usual plot but was good.
I didn’t think I was a Shane East fan, but he is growing on me.
Just can’t say enough about having multi narrators. They were awesome.

Great Assembly of multi narrators
