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?

Reviews
A must-read for every rom-com reader out there, Before I Do is warm, witty, and wise. I raced through it! It's Sophie's best book yet - she really is a writer to watch
So romantic . . . the love story was unexpected in the best possible ways
Romantic, wise and LOVELY
I adored this novel! Funny, clever, poignant, with characters that just leap off the page. I loved how I was never sure quite how it was going to end, and I kept thinking about it even when I wasn't reading. Thoroughly recommend!
A new Sophie Cousens book is always cause for celebration. Sweet, smart, funny and warm, Before I Do is rom-com writing at its best.
A total page-turner - with an endearing protagonist and packed with humour and warmth, Before I Do is a dazzling romance. This book is definitely 'the one'!
A fun, heart-warming, will-they-won't-they romcom that is perfect for summer or an anytime feel-good read
A funny, insightful, properly swoony rom-com, Before I Do genuinely had me stumped as to which way Audrey would go, and perplexed as to what I wanted her to do. Cousens' deft unfurling of Audrey's dilemma is brilliant. Say 'I do' to the book!
Sophie has transformed the idea of pre-wedding jitters into the most sensational love story. The characters are dazzling and the plot keeps you guessing right until the end. Totally glorious.
I absolutely adored this clever, funny story - it's not only the best kind of romance but I want Audrey to be my new BFF
I am the biggest fan of Sophie Cousens! She always delivers a true, laugh-out-loud, romcom with a ton of depth, and Audrey may be my favourite heroine. Before I Do could easily be her best book yet!
I'm a big fan of Cousens's beautifully written, pacy stories and this one is especially good on relationships,
expectations, second chances and how hard it can be to let go.
A heart-warming, witty read
Super-uplifting, super-funny and a super read!
Bursting with brilliant characters and laugh-out-loud one-liners, this is a book to say 'I do' to
'Heartwarming, romantic and funny . . . it's impossible to put down!'
'A quirky and emotional love story with plenty of Sophie's trademark wit and humour - a joy to read!'
'A must-read that will make you laugh out loud and take a breath in equal measure and you will not be able to put this book down.'
'Quirky...this book isn't just simple romance - there is plenty of depth too, and twists that will keep you guessing right up to the final chapters!'
'Before I Do is the perfect page-turner.'
