The Wedding Season - Katy Birchall

Book Synopsis: Four Weddings and a Funeral meets The Wedding Party in Katy Birchall's The Wedding Season: when a recently jilted bride is forced to attend seven weddings in one summer, her friends devise a series of challenges as distraction.

Freya Scott is getting married. Her wedding to Matthew, her long-term boyfriend, is the first of eight in her calendar this year, and as someone who prides herself on being meticulously organized, Freya is intent on making it the perfect day to remember.

But when Matthew calls things off hours before they walk down the aisle, Freya’s entire life plan goes up in smoke. Humiliated and heartbroken, the last thing she wants is to attend a summer of other peoples’ nuptials on her own.

Fortunately, her friends have an idea: together they devise a series of outrageous challenges for Freya to complete at each event, designed to distract her from Matthew and what might have been. From getting stuck in an old church bathroom and needing to be rescued by the vicar to making out with a barman at a French chateau, Freya realizes that despite herself, she might just be having fun.

By the time the final wedding arrives, she will discover that the road to a happy ending sometimes has unexpected detours, that “I do” is only the beginning––and that perhaps her own love story isn’t over just yet.

After reading Katy Birchall's book The Secret Bridesmaid I knew that I had to get my hands on this one.

Freya gets dumped by her long-time boyfriend hours before their wedding, and to top it off, she must attend a whole season of weddings this year on her own. Her best friends, Ruby and Leo decide it's time for Freya to stop moping, and plan out a list of wedding season challenges she must complete at each wedding she attends. There is so much growth and character development for Freya and you'll find yourself cheering her on, as she blossoms with each task.

Read this book if you want to have a good laugh, or if you've ever experienced a broken heart before.

This book was incredible. Go and get a copy on May 3, 2022! I found myself smiling and laughing the whole time.
