The Wedding Date by Zara Stoneley
3.0
The Wedding Date delivered exactly what I was looking for: a fun and frivolous story that I could read quickly and not have to think about too hard.
I was surprised though by how much I liked Sam. She wasn't daft and didn't get herself into stupid cringy situations and I thought she was actually very funny. Her internal monologue made me laugh a few times! Jake was lovely and the attraction between him and ... - the most important thing in this type of story - was alive and well.
More could have been made of the Scottish setting and some of the characters were a bit too one dimensional. There wasn't much life in the story outside of Sam and Jake, the wedding felt a bit flat and the mother's lack of personality started to get irritating rather than funny after a while. In fact, the whole story started to drag and get a bit daft towards the end.
Overall I found this an enjoyable read even if the end was a bit slow. A good one for the beach!
