I absolutely loved Matt’s last book, 13 Dates; it contained everything that this genre needs to make it a perfect read. I was therefore delighted to see At the Wedding available for review and as I had just finished a book, I couldn’t wait to read it.
I was so disappointed; the characters were all cliches and the main plot was predictable. Only Matt’s interesting writing and my hope that the book would improve or that the characters would go against type kept me reading.
If this had been my first book by Matt Dunn, I would not be inclined to read another, but having read and thoroughly enjoyed 13 Dates I will continue to read his books and I am sure this was just a blip.

I have no idea how Matt Dunn manages it, but not for the first time has has written a book based around the events of a short space of time - this time around its 48 hours and manages to fit in so many twists and turns along the way to keep readers on their toes.

At times I was so engrossed in this book that a waitress made me jump out of my skin, as I hadn't seen her approach and I'm still not sure how I returned home as I don't recall seeing most of the stops!

The book is not the only thing that is fast paced, so is the time between proposal and wedding, for Livia's and Je. To say that Jed was rather surprised at the real reason they were in Barcelona, would be an understatement.

Followed up with the following day assorted friends and family arrive for the wedding, all of whom have been sworn to secrecy.

The focal point switches around between some of the main characters,so you were able to get to know them a bit better. I really did love all members of the main wedding part, and some of the supplementary people were also great to meet.

I love how clever this author is in creating a believable storyline, with plenty of action and humour but using such a small timeline. Each character shows some development in their view towards relationships over the course of the book. I loved Liam's continual flirting, Izzy's shopaholic tendencies, Patrick's father figure approach to the group, Rachel's sightseeing is particularly memorable as is Jed's reaction to the proposal

Another gem of a book from Dunn, reminding me once more of just how much I love this author. If you are already a fan then you will understand when I say it has all of his trademark style and is a must read. If you have never tried a Matt Dunn book, then this is certainly a great example of what he is capable of.

Thank you to Lake Union Publishing and Matt Dunn for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
