Starting off, this book has a very cute cover, which is always a plus for me. The Wedding Season has a very interesting premise & I had a lot of fun reading it once I got into it! I love the idea of a character having to complete a bunch of challenges & I enjoyed seeing Freya completing these sometimes silly challenges & healing from her unexpected breakup. I enjoyed the splash of romance, but definitely don’t go into this expecting it to be a full-on romance book. This book gives me Sophie Kinsella vibes & I always enjoy reading her books as well.

Having just finished reading The Wedding Season I now find myself sitting here with a silly smile on my face and warmth in my heart. This wasn't quite the rom-com I was expecting, because whilst there is very little true romance in it this was still a very engaging and wonderful read. I adored every moment with Freya, who I found to be a very sympathetic and likeable character. It didn't take long before I was completely absorbed by the story, reading it virtually without a break.

There were some very touching moments, some emotional moments and some triumphant moments all nicely rounded off with the possibility of a romance. Surprisingly it turned out to be just enough, though it would have been even better had there been more. It also needed more scenes of Freya and Jamie together, I was rather disappointed to be continually told about their time together in Leeds but not have been shown any of it.

Whilst I loved the scenes with Freya, Ruby and Leo, or Freya and her other friends, they did dominate the book, so despite how much I enjoyed what I read, I can't give it 5 stars. Whilst the storyline was busy, the forward movement of the plot was quite slow, due to the brevity of scenes between Jamie and Freya. Excellent prose and good humour carried me along, so it never felt as though the book dragged. Reflecting on the story to write my review though has allowed me the space and time to see the flaws and realise that whilst this was good, with only a few tweaks it could have been excellent.

Read This If:
•Going through a breakup

Thoughts:
It pains me to say this because I loved The Secret Bridesmaid, but I just wasn’t feeling this story. I was not invested in the characters & storylines at all. The storyline between Freya & her mom felt forced. The breakup between her & Matthew seemed to be dragged on & on. Which I understand, but at the same time it really bothered me. Though that wine scene was the funniest part, I was literally laughing out loud. As well, I was not feeling the chemistry between Freya & Jamie for some reason.

This book was just not at all what I expected it to be, it’s a cute/hopeful story.
