I’ve read other books from this author and loved them…this one not so much. And I tried so hard. I kept reading hoping it would get better and grab my interest but over half way thru I finally had to DNF it. Maybe I’ll try it again, but I’ll definitely try the author again!

I enjoyed this story. Feyra was extraordinarily likable and her friends Leo and Ruby were even better. It was heartwrenching going through the emotional 'break-up' journey alongside Feyra. I totally recommend this book if you're going through a breakup and want to feel seen because Katy does almost too good a job of making you feel that journey. The rest of the book is fun and lighthearted and just a generally great read.

Thank's to Netgalley and the publisher for the Arc.

This was a fun read!

The book was witty, funny, and charming. I loved the self discovery and friendship aspect!

Overall, I would recommend!!

Freya gets into a dilemma where her soon to be husband calls off the wedding and she has to deal with the aftermath. I went into reading this book expecting it to have more of a romance plot. I wouldn’t say that this book is a rom-com but other than that it was a good read.

Thank you to @stmartinspress and @netgalley for my gifted copy of The Wedding Season, by Katy Birchall. This cute romcom is out now, and features romance, humor, and growth! All of my favorite things!

It was so sad seeing Freya left at the altar, but I loved the direction the book took afterwards. The challenges were hilarious, and really kept her on her toes. Plus, it made it a fun book to read, because I always wanted to know what the next challenge was going to be.

I’m already looking forward to Birchall’s next book!

With this book, it was totally a case of "It's not you, it's me." I absolutely adored book #1! But I am not in a place where reading a book like this (all the talk of COVID) works for me. I'm sure it is lovely, and maybe in 5 years I can circle back to it. But I just couldn't even get past the first chapter. I had to DNF. I am still giving it 3 stars because, like I said, the first book was fantastic and I am sure this one would have been also, but it is not for me, not right now.

I really enjoyed this book. Wedding season is no joke especially when you just have been dumped. It's about love lost and finding yourself. This Rom com was a easy read. Definitely recommend.

The Wedding Season is a cute, light, feel good story. This story follows Freya through a busy wedding season full of challenges from her friends to help pull her out of her breakup slump after she got dumped the day before her wedding.

Anything Katy writes I’ll read! Her books are the perfect palate cleanse romance for me. She’s incredible

Thank you to the publisher and to the author for sending me an advanced copy of The Wedding Season in exchange for a review. I really enjoyed the author's first novel The Secret Bridesmaid so I was excited to give this one a read as well. The plot is simple, Freya is left by her fiancé the day before her wedding, and must now face a summer of nonstop weddings. I found Freya to be quite relatable as a main character and really loved her supportive friends as side characters. The book was well paced and fun as you experience all 7 weddings without feeling like it gets bogged down at any point. While there is some side romance here, I thought this was a better story of friendship, resilience, and the pain of growing up. I look forward to Birchall's next book.

Katy Birchall- writes a cute, funny, romcom. I highly recommend reading her books.
I fly through them and they make me laugh. They are one sitting reads forsure

I am a sucker for a book about weddings, so I enjoyed this charming take on wedding season from Katy Birchall. (And, yes, wedding season is definitely a thing.)

When Freya Scott is dumped on the eve of her wedding, she's left with an avalanche of emotions. The wild tasks her friends give her are just what she needs to survive the season and find herself in the process.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

This book was wonderful. It had many characters that I enjoyed almost immediately, from the brother (and his gift peacocks), to Ruby and Leo (who make the to-do list to help Freya survive the wedding season), to the dad (who reminded me of in some way of Bridget Jones’s dad), and, of course, Jamie (who was introduced so well, that I was immediately rooting for him). Freya’s group of lady friends were also fun to get to know (even if some were a bit overbearing when drunk).

The list the story centers around was a fun and interesting way for Freya to distract herself (and move on with her life), but it also provided some excellent plot development. Additionally, I enjoyed the realistic way the narrator grieved, numb at first, then remembering joy, only to fall back on the loss.

It was not hard to make the fiance despicable, but my absolute favorite scene was when he happens into the same restaurant Freya and her friends are dining at and she finally finds the words to say what she needs to say.

I sometimes find romances hard to read because the precipitating event is so absurd, but I enjoyed Freya and Matthew meeting in the broom cupboard. The way it was written made it feel like it was the most normal thing in the world. I also don’t enjoy when the main character spirals over what they’ve lost, or don’t know their own worth, and there was some of that in this story, but I think that comes with the territory of life-altering events, and being in a relationship with a guy for 12 years (as Freya was), but it doesn’t detract too much from my overall appreciation of the story. I would definitely recommend it to friends.

Freya gets left at the altar after 12 years with her college sweetheart and has to pick up the pieces of her life. Unfortunately, she is still surrounded by weddings and planning, but then along cames Jaime who helps her through the worst wedding season of her life.

Overall, this was extremely cute and a quick and easy read. I enjoyed it a great deal and I loved how she had friends to help her through it all.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for a review.

Dumped the day before her own wedding, Freya's friends come up with a series of challenges to help her get through the eight weddings between her own and the rest of the season. She moves through her grief into acceptance and c0mes out the other side. The premise was believable, and her supporting friendships no less than than stellar. Lovely writing, wonderful details, and even a new love interest!

Such a great read. This was my first read from the author and will definitely check out her other work.

I loved the characters and the friendships. I love when secondary characters contribute just as much to the story.

Highly recommend

This book made me laugh so many times! I want this friend group. Such a cute feel-good book about self discovery and coming to terms with things.

This was a fun and funny book. Loved all the challenges that Freya was given by her friends. I was surprised that she actually followed through. Getting the cufflinks was my favorite. Great story. Recommend for public libraries.

This was so fun and charming! A delightful read! I love when a book is about the heroine's growth and self-discovery - man optional.
Thank you to Katy Birchall, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!!

Freya has her whole year planned out, starting with her meticulously organized wedding to her long time boyfriend Matthew. But when Matthew breaks up with her the day before the wedding, it throws her whole life into an uproar. She isn't sure how she'll survive the next month, much less the rest of the year which is populated with the weddings of many of her friends and family. Her best friends Ruby and Leo devise a list for her-a challenge task for each wedding that she's attending so that she can concentrate on each task and not on Matthew's absence. Thus starts her emotional and funny journey through multiple weddings over the course of months.
Freya really grew into herself over the course of the story. I really liked her and I was glad that she liked herself, too.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in return for my VERY late review.
