susanjbarrett 's review for:
The Wedding of the Year
by Jill Mansell
What a refreshing palette cleanser this is!
I really enjoyed this delightful story of love in a Cornish town, told from multiple points of view. Jill Mansell artfully entangles her characters with multiple potential couplings wending their way through this fun and entertaining read.
The pacing is excellent, there’s humour and poignancy, with a little frustration, a touch of misogyny and a sprinkling of gaslighting. There’s even a side of narcissism, but once again, this is fun and lighthearted.
The intimate scenes are fade-to-black rather than in-your-face, and the whole experience is gentle and relaxed, very much like the seaside town in which it’s based.
Gorgeous.
