§Synopsis

01

Meryl Wilsner's spicy romance, their first with a nonbinary lead, where two lifelong best friends go on a nonrefundable honeymoon together and discover sometimes to find a happily ever after, you just have to ask.

Elsie Hoffman has been engaged to her college boyfriend for a year and a half. Ginny Holtz has been in love with Elsie for almost a decade and a half.

When Elsie discovers her fiancé already planned their wedding and honeymoon as a surprise and she’s expected to be in a white dress in seven days, she swiftly realizes she’s let herself become too comfortable with a future she never wanted. She breaks things off, and a week later is on a plane to the Caribbean for her non-refundable honeymoon with her best friend Ginny instead.

Ginny thinks it’s high time Elsie learned how to speak up for herself. So, they make a deal with her. For the next week, Elsie can have whatever she wants, wherever, however, and whenever she wants it, as long as she asks. They never expected Elsie to want them.

What starts as choosing activities and taking selfies soon turns to toe-curling kisses and much, much more. But what happens when the honeymoon is over?

Meryl Wilsner’s My Best Friend’s Honeymoon is about not only learning to ask for what you want, but for the happiness you deserve.

§About the Author

Meryl Wilsner

4 books in catalog

Contemporary sapphic romance gained a prominent entry with Something to Talk About, a slow-burn Hollywood romance that became the first queer female romance printed by Berkley Books. Meryl Wilsner writes contemporary romances focused on queer characters who love women, delivering stories that range from ultra-slow-burn workplace dynamics to high-heat age-gap relationships.

Career & Background

Wilsner was born in Michigan in 1990 and studied political science at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Before returning to Michigan, Wilsner lived in Portland and in Jackson, Mississippi, and currently resides in Grand Rapids with their wife. Wilsner began writing creative fiction at an early age and honed their craft by writing fanfiction online. Participating in the Pitch Wars mentorship program helped launch their traditional publishing career, leading to the acquisition of their debut novel Something to Talk About, which was published in 2020 to critical recognition and starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal.

Writing Style & Themes

Wilsner's novels explore the emotional complexities, missteps, and vulnerabilities of human relationships within LGBTQ romance. Their narrative pacing varies widely across titles: while Something to Talk About relies on a gradual buildup before romantic intimacy occurs, their sophomore novel Mistakes Were Made opens immediately with an intimate encounter, demonstrating flexibility across different romantic tropes. Their stories regularly emphasize authentic queer representation, humor, mutual respect, and the messy decisions real people make when navigating love. Their catalog also incorporates popular sports and contemporary tropes, such as the professional soccer setting in Cleat Cute and getaway dynamics in My Best Friend's Honeymoon.
