Wedding of the Year

By Jill Mansell

What it’s about?

Love, friendship and secrets revealed as the sun beats down on dazzling blue Cornish seas . . .

It’s set to be a perfect day – until the chauffeur is asked to keep driving the bride around the church. This wedding definitely isn’t going as planned.

Lottie is a guest at the wedding when she sees Max. No kiss has ever matched the last one they shared fifteen
years ago. They were on the brink of a beautiful love story, until a shocking event tore them apart. Now here he is, still ridiculously good-looking, teasing Lottie in the old way – and that overwhelming electric attraction is back. But Max is way out of bounds.

Freya owes Cameron everything. But she doesn’t love him. Which is a shame, because they’re about to be married.

Ruby has been the perfect wife. When she discovers the truth about her husband, her response is reckless and delicious. But after that, nothing will ever be the same again

What I think:

This is absolutely my favourite book of the year so far. I know it’s only January, but I can definitely see this still being in my top ten come December.

It is so readable I absolutely could not put it down.

This starts with an absolutely cracking scene.

Freya is about to marry Cameron. Gorgeous, kind and beloved by the local community he serves at doctor, everyone thinks Freya is the luckiest girl in the world. But her wedding doesn’t quite go to plan when it is interrupted.

Ruby is the vicar’s wife. She has always been devoted to Peter, but when she finds out a secret she throws caution to wind and does something out of character with surprising consequences.

And then there is Lottie. As a guest at Freya’s wedding, she meets up with her long lost teenage love, Max he is absolutely gorgeous and full of fun, but has a reputation for breaking hearts and Lotte is not prepared to get hurt.

This is a small town soap opera full of delightful characters and romance.

All of the women are interesting and likeable. You will be rooting for all of them. The wedding is the catalyst for some big changes in all of their lives as they fulfil some of their dreams, find themselves and search for love.

I love the conversations between Lottie and Max. He is so charming and fun and there is real chemistry between them.

Ruby was my favourite. She is such a sympathetic character. I enjoyed some of the predicaments she found herself in and the support that she had from those around her.

This is such a warmhearted read. It’s light and fluffy and joyful. It’s the perfect comfort read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
