MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING

 



SYNOPSIS

As chief bridesmaid, Libby knows she should be having the time of her life at her best friend’s snowy Christmas Eve wedding. But she’s at the mercy of three bossy little flower girls and she’s not looking her best in an enormous fuchsia dress. Which is a shame, as it is the first time she’s going to see her ex Rufus. The man she was supposed to marry. The man who left her alone at the altar…

As the dancing begins, and Libby does her best to avoid her ex, the snow outside falls faster and faster, making it impossible for the guests to leave. Snowed in at Lovage Hall, Libby is charmed by American Noah with his dark cropped hair and dimpled cheeks, and the two of them share their dreams and a very passionate kiss.

But when the morning comes, and the snow melts, a shocking revelation about Noah comes to light and Rufus reveals the desperately sad reason he ended their relationship. As Rufus begs for another chance, Libby’s head tells her to trust the man she’s known for years, but her heart can’t quite let go of the spark she had with Noah. Will she make the right decision for her own happy ending?

REVIEW

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐

I’ve now read several Tilly Tennant books and I’ve always loved them, so it pains me to say that My Best Friend’s Wedding was just ok. I always love her settings and characters but in this case I found both a bit lacking.

Libby is chief bridesmaid at her best friend’s wedding, where she’ll have to meet her ex Rufus, who ditched her at the altar after cheating with her cousin. At the wedding Libby meets Noah and is charmed by him, but she feels he’s hiding something. Rufus wants a second chance but could she after what he did to her? When a snow storm gets them all stranded at the wedding venue, she’ll have a couple of days to figure out who to trust.

The biggest problem in my opinion was the fact that 3/4 of the story happen at the same setting, what made for lots of going around the same issues. It felt the story was not going anywhere for the most part, just Libby and Noah flirting, Libby and Rufus fighting and Libby going after the other bridesmaids a.k.a. the trio of torment.

It got a bit annoying that each and every time some characters were going to have a meaningful conversation something happened to prevent it. Also, if Libby’d let people talk and stopped being “I don’t wanna hear it” all the time, she could have prevented herself some disappointments.

Being so wedding centered made it really slow paced, dragging quite a bit in the middle. I would have loved for Libby and Noah to get to know each other a bit better outside the wedding setting and not having such a rushed ending.

Although not my favorite it still had some cute moments. I really enjoy the author’s writing style so I will definitely be back for her next offering.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
