OUR EX'S WEDDING
OUR EX'S WEDDING by Taleen Voskuni, a new romantic comedy in which two people who can’t stand each other must come together to plan their mutual ex’s wedding. PRH/Berkley will publish in January 2026.
Ani Avakian was supposed to be the Bay Area’s premier Armenian wedding planner by now. But after a huge blow to her business, she’s determined to redeem herself by taking on the biggest job of her career: a wedding for an indie movie star. The wedding is set at a stunning Armenian-owned winery, and Ani is eager to connect with the owner, who she’ll be working closely with. But then she actually meets him. Sure, Raffi is ridiculously hot and charming, but he’s also insufferably smug. Though the real gut punch comes when Ani meets the happy couple—because the actress’s fiancée is none other than the woman who shattered her heart two years ago: her ex-girlfriend, Kami.
All Raffi Garabedian has ever wanted is to make his father proud. Taking over the family winery should be his dream come true—but its first major event is off to a rocky start, thanks to one irritating(-ly beautiful) wedding planner who challenges him at every turn. He’s shocked to find that they have one thing in common, however: their mutual ex, Kami. Despite the record level of awkwardness, they’ll have to work together to make sure this wedding goes perfectly. But first, they’ll have to deal with the tension sizzling between them—before it turns their ex’s nuptials into a full-blown disaster…or something much more scandalous.
Praise for OUR EX'S WEDDING
“Our Ex’s Wedding is a breathtaking and sexy escape to California wine country. Readers will laugh, cry, and toss back the popcorn as this cinematic romance unfolds between an event planner orchestrating what could be the messiest wedding of the season and a new-to-the-game vineyard owner with more than a little dark edge. Nosy Armenian families, a dash of mystery, and spice that absolutely singes gild this emotional and high-stakes romance that delivers on passion and true connection.” — Annie Mare, author of Cosmic Love at the Multiverse Hair Salon
Praise for Sorry, Bro
“Voskuni fills the book with details about [Armenian] food, history, dances, songs, etiquette, stereotypes, politics and even artistic motifs…The overall effect is celebratory and defiant, and it pairs beautifully with Nar’s journey to fully accept who she is.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Voskuni’s debut is equal parts comic, heartfelt, and profoundly rooted in Armenian culture, with a lead you’ll want to befriend and a romance you’ll want to cheer on in equal measure. A sparkling story about love, family, and identity.” —Kirkus, starred review
“With this radiantly ravishing debut, Voskuni beautifully illustrates the courage it can take to be your own true self and risk everything for love.” —Booklist, starred review
“Featuring a slow-burn, chemistry-driven relationship,
the book also beautifully depicts and celebrates Armenian culture
and traditions throughout the story.” —Library Journal
“Voskuni debuts with a bighearted queer rom-com uniquely inflected with Armenian American culture…This is a treat.” —Publishers Weekly

Like heroine Nareh, Voskuni is forging a remarkable path, and I will gladly follow wherever it leads!” —Dahlia Adler, author of Cool for the Summer and Out on Good Behavior
“The most heartwarming tale of family, heritage, loving bravely, and loving yourself, with a humor that adds a light touch to the poignant themes and a vivid San Francisco setting that brings the whole story to life.
