Always the Bridesmaid by Laura Carter
4.0

First thought: This book is like being on a weekend getaway with besties. The friends group in this book are GOALS, they are loyal, supportive and push you. I loved the chemistry between the characters, the witty banter and all the awkward moments. This book is truly a love letter to accepting who you are and letting go of the past.

Sarah loves her friends, she goes above and beyond to ensure their happiness. The next 2 weeks in England are no exception, she is the matron of honor for her best friend’s wedding and has planned every detail meticulously. Having lost her husband in an accident the next two weeks are going to be hard for her, but she has her friends by her side to help her through. The one thing she’s didn’t account for was Charlie.

Charlie is from London and he had a rough upbringing, being a child of the system left him with issues. But Charlie uses humor as his shield and has built a career as a standup comedian, making light of his past. His best friend is getting married and he was tasked with collecting Sarah from the airport and driving her out to the country. But that simple drive from London drove an instant wedge between them, and to make things worse the house they are staying at requires them to share a room!

Will these two move past their initial impressions of each other and see they are actually perfect for each other or will the next two weeks be the longest of their lives.

Tropes you’ll find:

* Forced Proximity
* Grumpy/Sunshine
* Different Worlds
* He Falls First
* Shared Friends
* Dual POV
* Emotional Baggage
