So you know I have been obsessing with Berkley Romance publishing lately. They have been killing the game in the romance genre department. Every book that I have read from them has been my favorite book to read. And The Wedding Ringer is no exception.
I truly thought I was reading a romance book, but it turns out I was wrong. The Wedding Ringer is more than a romance book. It's more about moving on and finding true friendship in life.
Willa has been through the wringer when she discovers her (former) fiance and best friend betray her in the worst way possible. It may have left her a bit jaded when it comes to love and friendship. But things are going to change when a stranger approaches her in a coffee shop.
I find Willa so adorable yet so hilarious. Her reaction to certain things makes me want to be her friend. I know she was betrayed, but girl, I got your back. And I know that stranger has your back too. You just have to learn to let people in. It may not be easy, but it's definitely worth it.
This book made me really appreciate my bestie. Everyone always needs a true bestie, not a fake one.

Cute. Just as much, if not more,about the friendship between Willa and Maise as the romance. Personally I got triggered about halfway through by Liam’s relationship history and response being exactly as an ex of mine. So it took me out of it for a good chunk til I could get that image out of my brain but I’m not holding that against the book. Very pg rated, no sex scenes.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I added The Wedding Ringer to my TBR in March of 2021. There was nothing about the book description that stood out to me, but it seemed like it would be an okay book and something different than what I had been reading at that time. I think I liked the idea of the main character being a former blogger/influence that had lost everything and was trying to make money. But really it was a book about so much more it appeared and it took me COMPLETELY by surprise in how much I ended up loving it.
The Wedding Ringer is about Willa Callister, a once successful blogger that appeared to have it all right down to the perfect fiance. That is until he caught he cheating with Willa's best friend. Suddenly Willa is single, living with her sister, and trying to keep it together. For someone that once had perfect credit she is now trying to pay her bills anyway she can even if it means working for her sister's company as Princess Sparkleheart. And then on day while getting coffee Willa meets the whirlwind that is Maise Mitchell. Maise needs something and Willa is the one that can help. She needs a bridesmaid for her wedding and she is willing to pay. Soon Willa finds herself thrust into Maise's life and immersed in planning the perfect wedding for a stranger that is somehow becoming a friend. And with wedding planning comes the hot doctor Liam Rafferty. As the wedding starts to unravel Willa must decide how far she is willing to go for a friendship she never saw coming.
There was something truly amazing about The Wedding Ringer. On the surface it is a romance book between Liam and Willa, which don't get me wrong, was super swoony. But it was about so much more.It was about friendship and picking yourself up when your world is shattered by the people you trusted the most with your happiness. It is about moving on and finding love and trust. It was about family you were born into the family you end up with. It was about opening yourself up even if you are doing everything in your power to protect yourself from getting hurt again. Those things right there are what made reading this book the most perfect experience and one I want every one to have.
Basically The Wedding Ringer was everything I wanted in a book and didn't know I wanted it. It was filled with such loving, supportive characters that were there for one another. It's a book that took my completely by surprise and that I wanted to hung when I was done because it just felt magical. It's a book that you will definitely want on your shelf. Get a copy today!

2.5 stars. My main issue is that I didn’t like Willa. She came off as really judgmental, rude and had a “woe is me attitude”. I understand she went through a horrible experience but deciding to swear off all friendship and believing that everyone’s life is perfect but hers is so immature. The ending was anticlimactic, we didn’t meet the love interest until ~100 pages.
