I was disappointed in this book. The friendship between Maddie, Ava and Chelsea was not quite believable, as Ava and Maddie seemed too reliant on each other. I think this book is for a younger audience than me since I don’t really get the whole influencer thing as a career choice. Other than the descriptions of beautiful settings in Italy, I can’t recommend this book. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
Three best friends make a pact to reunite for each other’s weddings after their careers sent them in different directions. But when a bad decision is made, it rips the group apart until an opportunity presents itself. An upcoming wedding might just be the opportunity to heal old wounds.
Told in past and present tense, you not only get a good picture of the friendship between Ava, Madison, and Chelsea, but you also get to see where things went terribly wrong. These characters are in different places in their lives and only time will tell if old wounds can be healed.
A Wedding in Lake Como is so much more than a love story or romance. It's a story about friendship and loss. A story about growth and forgiveness. And well, you can't go wrong with Lake Como as your setting. All in all, a quick, yet enjoyable read.

Thank you to Berkley and Netgalley for this advanced copy through the #BerkleyBesties program. All thoughts are my own.
Aren't we all a little toxic when it comes to our ride or die friends? A Wedding in Lake Como brings that to focus as we follow Ava, Maddie and Chelsea through their roller coaster ride of a friendship. All three have been brought together for Ava's wedding. If you enjoy books with a dose of drama, this is one to pick up. I enjoyed the Italy setting and I'm curious to check out the other books in this interconnected series.

Throw this book in your beach bag and head to the beach! You will get lost in this story that surrounds three woman and their friendship.

I really love this series. A WEDDING IN LAKE COMO revolves around three friends, with one getting married in Lake Como. The book has elements of a romance but it's really about friendship and the bond between the three women. The three women face past failures to become friends again. Loved the underlying theme of lifelong friendships, second chances, and forgiveness.
Thanks so much, Berkley Pub, for the gifted copy in exchange for my honest review!

We will always have Italy!
This novel takes on a friendship bond that can't be broken, or can it? The three friends met in college and became close friends, regardless of how they were brought up (insert silver spoon/lack of parents/and like ten other emotional baggage items). Ava - the girl who has it all. Maddie - the girl who is struggling to find her place in this world (and her tribe), and Chelsea - the girl that deserved more page time.
This novel had me feeling all the feels, shaking my head, saying no girl just no, and maybe shed a tear or two.
I love how Jennifer writes, and this one was not a disappointment.
If you like books like One Italian Summer, books about friendship/finding your place/ moving on/ and the potential for a HEA, then this is the next read for you.
Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for my DRC.

Liked the story more than book 2, but wished more of it took place in Italy. 3.5 ⭐️
I walked into this knowing it wasn't the usual romance-centered story but I think I expected a little different than it was. Maddie, Ava and Chelsea made a pact in their 20s to be at each others' weddings regardless of where they're at. Ava's wedding is about to take place in Lake Como and the three estranged friends find themselves where they originally made their pact to one another. The girls are all in very different places in their lives but come together to honour their pact. The girls take this time to try to repair and salvage their relationship damaged so many years ago but does time really heal all wounds? This story has a lot of relatable feelings but the drama and toxicity of their relationship was not something I found too enjoyable.
Thank you to Berkley Publishing Group for providing me with an advanced copy of this novel via Netgalley.
A destination wedding in Italy’s Lake Como brings three college friends back together to face the secrets of their past. More than half of this book is spent in the past recapping their college years of a toxic codependent friendship and Madison's romantic relationship with Riggs. It then skips forward six years to their eventual reunion in Italy. Large chunks of the book are also spent giving details description of clothing and scenery. This primarily a contemporary drama about friendship, though it also prominently features a romantic relationship.

This story is written in dual timelines in Italy an New York during college. Told from Maddies POV in first person.
5 stars
This was my favorite book in this series so far. Jennifer Probst is becoming an auto buy author for me.
The characters were toxic at times but after a lot of self discovery and self realization they became relatable. Another sub plot that may have been missed is foregivness. Jennifer does such a good job with character development in her books. I feel I personally know these characters and it keeps me rooting for them. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.
