Always the fake bridesmaid was a solid four star read. The complex start to this 186 pgs or so store leaves MMC and FMC unclear until the end of chapter four. This strategy how was well employed by author Carrie Ann Ryan. This was around a five hour read on a quiet day due to its shorter length. The MMC of the story is Ewan and FMC is Livy. Not much can be summarized without giving away plot but it surrounds wedding as the title suggests. I highly recommend Always a fake bridesmaid by Carrie Ann Ryan. I’ve read other Carrie Ann Ryan novels so recommend checking out her back list. Micro tropes this novel focuses on that help develop the plot are small town romance, single mom, enemies to lovers, fake dating and wedding shenanigans. This romance and character development is faster paced due to shorter length of the novel. This is a read I highly enjoyed.  Carrie Ann Ryan is a wonderful writer with brilliant story ideas.
