I understand why this book is so popular! It was such a whirlwind of fun, family, and wedding chaos. Obviously the entire premise was ridiculous and it only got more over-the-top as the book went on. You do have to suspend your disbelief at certain points, but it's definitely a fun ride. The central conflict of Meddy embracing her own dreams even when they conflict with her family's was really powerful, and the epilogue put a huge smile on my face. I recommend this one and I'm so excited for the movie!
