I wanted to read Planning Perfect because it's a Jewish and asexual love story by an author I'm already familiar with, Haley Neil. The very cute cover also helped. A lovely dress, all elements are nicely balanced, and there's a peek at the apple orchard the book is set at. Everything about how this book is presented screams wholesome and cute for the bubbly queers. Yet, this might be the most stressful rom-com I have ever read. It could probably be described as a mental health story with a side of rom-com tropes. Despite the stress, it's a good book.
Felicity Becker, the star of Planning Perfect, has a wedding to plan! Her long-distance best friend and crush, Nancy, offers up her family's Vermont apple orchard for the wedding. Felicity wants to be an event planner when she grows up, so her grandmother invites someone with an internship to offer as a guest to the wedding. Felicity will have to figure out how to get it all done by the end of summer. Her mom is worried about the stress it could cause, her best friend from home isn't talking to her, and she's worried about how being ace will affect her relationship with Nancy. It's a lot, but with some help, she might be able to get through the summer in one piece.
