Reviews with content warning for Cursing - The Wedding Crasher

I loved this one even more than The worst best man! It was funny and I really felt the connection between the characters. It was a bit unrealistic though, with certain scenarios and I wish the ending had gone a bit differently. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, romantic, good time, with a side of close family relationships.

This is absolutely ridiculous, I love it. More!

I find the initial premise (a la wedding crash) to be just shy of believable. I mean, come on, would anyone actually do that? But the rest, in its entirety, is just SO FUN. The fake dating trope often feels very unrealistic but somehow here it seems completely logical and that only helped me enjoy it further. Thanks to Kayla (@BooksAndLaLa on YT) for this rec!

4.0

The Wedding Crasher is a loose follow-up to The Worst Best Man, so make sure you (re)read that first, otherwise you might miss some of the interplay between the Tias and the cousins.

The Wedding Crasher follows Solange and Dean, who meet when Solange steps up an objects to Dean's wedding. Because the bride is in love with one of the groomsmen. And then both of them need a fake relationship - Solange's mother lied to family member in Brazil who's coming up for a visit, and Dean lied to his bosses in an attempt to gain favor and be made partner - and they need it fast.

In general, it's a fun romp around DC, though there are more serious subplots, though they add to the plot, making it very fun and interesting story about finding out who you really are and what really matters. Though I am annoyed

does not get what's coming to him, what with the sex party and how he treated Kimberly.

3.0

- THE WEDDING CRASHER is a joyride of a romance novel, with increasingly ridiculous situations, great chemistry between the leads, and a stellar supporting cast.
- I also love a book set in my beloved DC: we aren't generally thought of as a romantic town, so I very much enjoy seeing characters visit shops and neighborhoods I love in a romance novel.
- Okay though, here's my issue with this book. Dean is basically actively searching for a nonromantic relationship. There's even a conversation near the beginning when he's quite sharp about how not everyone is "wired for romance." It's a perfect setup for having an aromantic hero. And...nothing. It's not quite "you just haven't found The One," but Solange definitely makes him change his mind about romance. It didn't put me off the book but was a bit frustrating.

Because I loved The Worst Best Man and this novel is a sequel, I thought I was going to love it too or at least like it a lot. At first I wasn't hooked but from the fifth chapter on I started to like the novel. That is until chapter 15. I wish there were more TW options as I would have been forewarned what happens in this chapter. Because of that I couldn't continue it and my rating has been greatly reduced.

The Brazilian in me loved all the Portuguese and Brazilian food descriptions. That made my heart glow 🥰🥹🫶🏽 We more Brazilian rep in our books ! Minus that, the sex scenes were 🥵 but that’s kind of all I really ended up admiring. Again, I feel a little too many parallels between Lina + Max reflected on Solange + Dean.
