Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Just Haven't Met You Yet and This Time Next Year
'Romantic, wise and LOVELY' Marian Keyes
What would you do if the one that got away turned up the night before your wedding?
Audrey is marrying Josh; steady, dependable Josh, the love of her life. They share a flat and a bank account, and it's the only relationship that Audrey's ever had that feels like something she can put her trust in. But romance should be full of fireworks, and as the big day approaches, Audrey's found herself wondering if Josh really is 'the one'.
So, when Josh's sister Miranda arrives at their rehearsal dinner with Fred - Audrey's 'What If?' guy, the man she met six years ago and had one amazing day with but never saw again - Audrey can't help but see it as a sign.
Surely Fred's appearance the night before Audrey is due to get married can't be a coincidence. And when everything that could go wrong with the wedding starts to go wrong, Audrey has to wonder: could fate be trying to stop her from making a huge mistake?

Sophie Cousens is quickly carving herself a name that sits alongside the queens of literature - Marian Keyes, Jane Green, Fiona Walker, and Sophie Kinsella.
In Before I Do - Audrey is preparing to marry Josh - dependable, honest and loveable Josh but Audrey has never forgotten 'the one that got away' - Fred.
Until Josh's sister arrives at the rehearsal dinner with Fred. Fred's arrival throws Audrey into a conundrum - should she marry Josh or is Fred her destiny.
This laugh-out-loud read is perfect to lose yourself in. It's incredibly well written, the characters are rich and believable and it has a lovely ending.

Before I Do was such a fun, enjoyable, light, sweet, novel! I devoured it one day!
That's how wonderfully written and fantastic this book was!
It is heartwarming, funny and original.
I love how Cousens incorporates strong friendships in her stories.
I also love that she adds a lot of depth and texture.
It's not just a fly away contemporary romance, it's a solid read with a lot of heart and full bodied characters.
Audrey was such a relatable character for me and I loved the relationships Sophie builds between her characters.
The characters are brilliant and bring to life real emotions and situations.
I felt each sentiment and pain as if it were my own.
The setting is absolutely stunning.
And the writing once again blew me away!
The dialogue, descriptions, and humor settled right into my heart and soul and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect story.
