The Wedding Season by Katy Birchall is fun, emotional and romantic. We begin the book the day before Freya and Matthew’s wedding. Their wedding will kick off “wedding season”, the first of eight that year between their friends and family. Everything is perfect.—until Matthew breaks things off. To get her through the seven weddings (!) she still has to attend, her two best friends set up a series of challenges for each wedding. This sets off a series of events that change Freya’s life and perspective on herself, their relationship, and her future.

I really enjoyed this book! It was equal parts funny, emotional and romantic. Freya is a great main character: the way the author writes her narrating the story feels authentic. She’s endearing and relatable. The transformation she goes through doesn’t make her a different/better person, just more well rounded and open to possibilities—like new love. I will be recommending this for purchase at my library and adding it to my personal collection.

I read this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed Katy Birchall's last book, The Secret Bridesmaid, and this one is just as good.
It's smart, with hilarious banter, insightful and honest. I remember feeling and doing a lot of what Freya did after a broken heart (obviously not the list because that was pure brilliance).
The friend group Freya has is just amazing, and her family is wonderful too. In the end, the way Freya deals with Matthew is really insightful.
And how could you not love Jamie? Wishing there was more steam in that department but that's just me.
There is just so much to this book, no review can do it justice, it needs to be read!

Katy Birchall won my heart with The Secret Bridesmaid.
When I seen another one her fabulous books up for grabs I snagged it!

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 is one of those books you that keeps you wanting more.
The closer I got towards the end the slower I read. I didn't want this book to end.
When I enjoy a story as much as I did this one sometimes I wish it could be 500+ pages. (Wishful Thinking)
TWS kept me smiling throughout the entire story and had me laughing from the very beginning.
One of the most charming, entertaining, truest book I've read in some time.
The writing itself is fantastic, effortlessly fun and totally clever.
This book really exceeded my expectations. I was anticipating a fun read but this was just so much more than that.

I will post my review closer to pub date.

Pub date: 5/3/22
Genre: romcom
In one sentence: After Freya gets dumped right before her wedding, her friends give her a list of challenges to help get her through wedding season.

The Secret Bridesmaid was one of my reading gems in 2021, so I was so excited to read this one! I loved going on this journey with Freya - seeing her whole world fall apart and rooting for her as she picked up the pieces. Character growth is something I look for in a romcom, and this one has it in spades. Freya also has the best friends a girl could ask for in Ruby and Leo, the creators of the infamous list.

With COVID still raging, I loved the chance to "attend" multiple weddings by reading this book. The Wedding Season is a love letter to love, whether romantic, platonic, or familial. I hope it leaves you with the same warm fuzzy feelings that it gave me!

Saying I loved this story would be an understatement. Once I started this book, I really couldn't stop. The banter between Freya and Jamie was SO funny. I would occasionally find myself "laughing out loud." The Wedding Season is a perfect mesh of self discovery, gush worthy, hilarious, and so much more. All the characters have a place in my heart. Especially Ruby and Leo for making the wedding survival guide. Overall this book is a 5/5 for me and I would definitely recommend to anyone. Easily one of my favorite reads so far this year! I will be posting on my Instagram story (sarahshypothesis) on 1/26/22! I already posted a review on my Goodreads!

She's done it again, y'all! With The Wedding Season, Katy Birchall cemented herself not only as a must-buy author for me, but truly and genuinely my FAVORITE author. I was honestly nervous for this book, thinking there's no way it could live up to Secret Bridesmaid. Well, I was happily proven wrong! Katy has this amazing talent to write comedy in a way that makes you actually laugh out loud without feeling forced or obligated. Every story of hers is true perfection, and The Wedding Season was yet again another beautiful love story that involved so much more. This was a story of personal growth and learning what the meaning of one's happy ending is. How someone can write something so relatable is astonishing to me. I truly could sing the praises of this book forever, but I digress that you NEED to read this book. I'll update with my full review & link when I post on IG, but RUN don't walk to order this!

Many thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I just enjoyed this book so much! Labeled a rom com, but it's that and much more.

We meet Freya when she is dumped by Matthew the day before their wedding. This was the first of 8 weddings she and her friends had this season and she didn't know how she could face the rest of them with a shattered heart.

Enter her BFF's and wedding couple #8, Leo & Ruby. They create a series of challenges that Freya has to complete during each wedding in an effort to distract her from her pain and help her find herself again. Not only does Freya work on herself, but she also works through some damaged family relationships that help with her growth.

This book is so funny and I was chuckling throughout, which is rare for me. It is just the right mix of fun and serious. It is uplifting, inspiring and leaves you with all the warm fuzzy feels. It also makes your realize that if you don't have BFFs like Leo & Ruby, then you are going about life all wrong.

This was a breath of fresh air after a series of mediocre reads. It's a slow burn, but so enjoyable and I didn't want to put it down.

Full review to come on Instagram and Amazon. Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for a review copy.

This story is charming and fun. Katy Birchall definitely excels at writing this type of book. Feya and all the supporting characters, are fun-loving, and intriguing. In the end I enjoyed this light sweet book and would recommend it.

This book is absolutely adorable. Lighthearted. Fun. It was a breath of fresh air that is needed for so many right now. The main character, Freya, cracks me up and I love the banter and friends in her corner.

Easy breezy summer fun!

I mainly picked this up for the book cover but god DANG this was such a fun ride! It was great curling up in my bed while doing online school and just getting sucked into the characters’ world and their relationships
