Book Review: Sister of the Bride by Lauren Morrill 

Sister of the Bride is an adult contemporary friends-to-lovers romance that takes place in Boston. 

Pippin Marino is still working in the family restaurant and living with her mother and grandmother when her twin sister comes home engaged to her girlfriend Mackenzie after living abroad. Although Pippin is dubious of the quick engagement she immediately downloads a wedding app and starts helping with the wedding planning. But also back in Boston is her best friend Toby who is single and starting a residency at the local hospital. For the first time in years Pippin has the two people she loves the most back home but things are rapidly changing around her and her future is uncertain. 

I really enjoyed this smart and funny contemporary romance. Lauren Morrill found a way to make the best friends to lovers trope both romantic and sexy. I also enjoyed the backdrop of both Boston and the family restaurant. I found Toby to be an enjoyable male main character who is confident without all the macho swagger and nonsense. 

I look forward to more adult contemporary romances from Lauren Morrill!
