Reviews with content warning for Alcohol - Wedding Season – Sieben Hochzeiten und ein Totalausfall

I liked this book.

A quick gist: The day before Freya's wedding to her partner of 12 years he decides to break up with her in a broom closet (A jerk move if I do say so myself). Unfortunately, this is also the season that many of her other friends are getting married, so to seem okay she and her best friends make a list of things (out of her comfort zone) for her to do at each wedding to take her mind off of Matthew.

I think Matthew was a huge jerk to her this entire book. The way he treated her and the way that he handled everything made me so angry and upset on Freya’s behalf but because of it we got to see a lot of good character development from her. I really liked how she focused on herself and called out Matthew for his rudeness to her. I enjoy books where the main characters focus on themselves and their own personal growth before anything else because I’m a strong believer in self care and self love. I also enjoyed the moments between her and Jamie and I really liked the dynamic she had with her friend group. I also liked the slight inclusion of lgbtq+ relationships. At times this story felt a bit rushed and I didn’t love some of the things that happened within the story but I did like this book overall. It was a very quick read although I probably won’t read it again just because it’s not really something I’m interested in rereading. (Overall I took maybe 4 hours with breaks to read this)

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martins Press for the digital ARC!

This book was SO. FUN! I genuinely laughed out loud a few times and felt like the main character was one of my best friends. There are so many fun side-characters in this book that you grow to love, and the story is very heart warming. Very British as well, which I loved. It kind of gave me “The Holiday” vibes (but make it “summer wedding” instead of Christmas), which of course, hooked me in from the beginning. I think this would be such a great vacation or summer read!

Thank you so much to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Publishing for the digital advanced reader copy (ARC)! :)
