In The Wedding, we meet four friends – Grace,
Piper, Sydney and Rachel – as they navigate life, careers, and love in Boston.
Each woman is newly single and looking for a fresh start. As their work lives
start to look up, they each meet a new man who may or may not be “the one”.
The bond the four women share helps them make
better sense of their lives, but at times their friendship causes more issues
than it solves. New couples form, and one of them is headed for the altar. But
which of the women is about to be a bride?
What a fun read that explores the depths of friendship and sisterhood through
these four women. The book is well written and kept me engaged from start to
finish. The author did an amazing job of building the characters as well as
their interests, releasing details to help the reader better understand each
woman. I found myself identifying with each woman for different reasons. All of
them are realistically written and I could see myself being friends with them
in real life.
I also liked that the author took on emotional
topics of relationships. Include the traumas caused whether they be intentional
or not. This contemporary love story will have you turning the pages late into
the night while trying to figure out the end. I especially love the final
twist, which I didn’t see coming yet love! This book gave me all the feels and
at its heart is about friendship and those we rely on to get us through the
many challenges life throws at us.
Overall, I highly recommend this book and I look forward to
reading more from this author!
