I LOVED this book - absolutely loved this brilliant and beautifully written book. This book centers around Freya who, having been dumped the night before her wedding, figures out how to muddle through life post-break up, with the help of her wonderful and hilarious friends. This book was so thoughtful and wise, and hilarious. Having just recently gone through a fairly major life altering event myself, I could feel my eyes tearing up a bit throughout the book and wanting to be a little braver - like Freya. This book is absolutely perfect who needs help getting through heartbreak, or needs a sweet and lovely book about what happens after love falls apart. Other than wanting to know a bit more about what happens with Freya's family, I would give this book all the stars if I could. Go and read it!

I love how so many things happened in the book. I could not keep myself from the book because it was so good

Thank you so much @StMartinsPress & @NetGalley for giving me this physical ARC in exchange for my honest and unbiased review (Release Date | 03 May 2022)

SYNOPSIS | Freya's fiancé calls off their wedding the day before they are due to walk down the aisle. She is understandably heartbroken, but her two best friends (Ruby & Leo) come up with a plan for her to survive the rest of the many weddings she is due to attend that year.

WHAT I LIKED:
- the unwavering support from her family & friends
- Freya was a very easy character to sympathise with
- the emotional rawness that encompasses the downfall of a relationship was really nicely explored

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
- not enough romance plot for me to consider this a romance book

This was fun! I liked the twist on a “checklist” motivated story to be in the vein of 27 dresses-esque wedding style. The tasks were simple and not totally out there, but added the right amount of comedy and small twists to the story

The whole cast of characters was enjoyable to read about and, while the romance wasn’t the focus - that honour was the lead putting her past behind her - I loved the chemistry between them.

Very cute slow burn rom-com. I would not have the energy to do 7 weddings over the course of a summer lol. Her friendships and how they stood behind her and pushed her (within reason) was really fun to read.


Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Again, sorry I'm so late!

"Because if I've learned anything during the Wedding Season, it's that sometimes, love won't make sense. Sometimes it doesn't come all neatly wrapped up, all questions answered. And sometimes, even the relationships you thought you could count on change, maybe even fall apart. If you click with someone, you click with them. Sometimes you just have to go with it and hope for the best!"

Last year, I really enjoyed reading The Secret Bridesmaid so I was looking forward to checking out another book from this author. This story ended up being completely unexpected, but the cast, witty dialogue and humor kept me captivated.

Freya is recovering from an embarrassing dump from her fiancee ... the day before their wedding. Even more unfortunate, is she has already been invited to several other weddings. In order to get her out of her slump, her friends assign her a task to complete at each of these upcoming nuptials. Some of my favs were: bring home a pair of cuff links, run down the hotel corridor naked and make a speech. These challenges are outrageous and meant to push her outside of her comfort zone, live vicariously and stop worrying about what others think.

What I loved about this story is the raw levels of emotion you see Freya struggle with. She was publicly humiliated and heart broken. It takes her a realistic amount of time to heal and come to terms with her ex. It honestly felt sad at the start of the book and you slowly felt that shift to happiness as the story progressed. The cast of supportive friends was the absolute best. There is a touch of romance, but it takes a side seat. This love interest is an opposites attract trope and lends playful dialogue and several will they won't they moments.

Overall this was a great summer / beach read.

The idea of this story was fun but after 25% I still wasn’t attached to the book and didn’t really want to continue

What a fun little read! It was easy to get through because of the animated, fun characters. I thought the situations that Freya was put it was fun to read. It was also quite light of a read which i liked.

Ugh..this was SO not the read I was expecting. Which is a bummer cause I really liked The Secret Bridesmaid, and was expecting the same sort of light-hearted, funny, rom com.

Instead, this was more of a self-discovery type of story, which is not my kind of thing.

I think others will enjoy this, but it wasn’t for me. Sorry..

This was cute. But not my favorite. Wedding romances are not my thing. I could do without them for now.

This fun tom com was a perfect summer read !
I overall really enjoyed this book
Thank you NetGalley for arc !

What an excellent surprise! This was such a sweet and meaningful book that is a perfect summer read. I really loved Freya as a character and watching her growth throughout the book as she reckons with her new life without Matthew. The concept of the Wedding Season tasks made the book fun and well-paced, and I loved Ruby and Leo as side characters. The writing in this was quick and funny and I laughed out loud a lot.

Read a couple chapters of this and couldn't get into it for some reason. Just seems like an unrealistic scenario and I get that it's a book but just couldn't get into it.

This was the perfect time for me to read this book because I have 5 weddings this year and am in 3 of them, plus have two more at the beginning of next year! Weddings are so stressful but this book was so fun. I loved the tasks for every wedding to help her get through them and I could see that being something I would need 🤣

The first like 20% was very slow and all over the place and I was pretty annoyed at Freya. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to finish but it got so much better after that point. The characters were great and hilarious plus I loved Jaime!

I would definitely recommend this one if you want a fun, entertaining book about weddings!

Thank you to @smpromance and @netgalley for the ebook in exchange for my honest review!

I can’t recommended this book enough! The story is fun, refreshing and different. I loved the main characters and their friends. The wedding settings were amazing and the challenges on point.

“FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL meets THE WEDDING PARTY...”

Synopsis: Freya Scott is getting married. Her wedding to Matthew, her long-term boyfriend, is the first of eight in her calendar this year, and as someone who prides herself on being meticulously organized, Freya is intent on making it the perfect day to remember. But when Matthew calls things off hours before they walk down the aisle, Freya’s entire life plan goes up in smoke. Humiliated and heartbroken, the last thing she wants is to attend a summer of other peoples’ nuptials on her own. Fortunately, her friends have an idea: together they devise a series of outrageous challenges for Freya to complete at each event, designed to distract her from Matthew and what might have been. By the time the final wedding arrives, she will discover that the road to a happy ending sometimes has unexpected detours, that “I do” is only the beginning––and that perhaps her own love story isn’t over just yet.

Personal review : 4 stars

This book was described like a glass of Prosecco - bubbly and fun, and I couldn’t agree more! Who doesn’t love a girl gang, cheering on their heartbroken best friend, as she completed a list of hilarious challenges meant to get her mind off a recent long term break up, while realizing her own love story “ain’t over yet!”

After Freya is dumped by her fiance on the day before their wedding, she is left distraught and with the prospect of seven weddings to attend over the summer. In order to make this a more bearable experience for Freya (and to help her get over her ex) her friends give her a list of tasks to do, one for every wedding she attends.

I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did, to be honest! I was expecting your run-of-the-mill rom-com but received so much more than that. There were so many fun moments that left me laughing or on the edge of my seat for more.

I think my biggest gripe about this book though is that it's advertised as a romantic comedy when the romance isn't even that big of a part of the story. I never really felt any chemistry between the romantic leads, because it seemed like Freya just went "oh no, I can't possibly like him!" and then her friends told her differently so she went with it. I genuinely wouldn't have found any issue with this, had this book not been marketed as a rom-com. Other than that though, it was a really enjoyable experience!

This book was an absolute delight. It was fun and cute and heart-felt. This isn't a romance book. The only love in this book is that between family and friends, and that's fine. It's great even! The love of your family and friends is sometimes what you need. It gives this book a nice change of pace. While, there is a small romance, it isn't the central story. This book is about Freya getting through seven weddings in one summer with the help of a survival list from her friends. The items on the list are cute and help Freya break out of her shell after being dumped the day before her own wedding. If you want a feel-good story pick this one up. This would also make a really cute Hallmark type movie.

This is categorized as romance, but I’m leaning more towards women’s life for us genre.

It was very much so opposite’s attract. It had quirky characters and super great dialogue between those characters.

This is a perfect summer read!

There was never a dull moment with The Wedding Season, and I had an absolute blast from start to finish. From the witty dialogue, engrossing writing style, and perfectly executed plot that encapsulated everything I love about an empowering feel-good rom com, I was fully locked into Freya’s delightful journey.
I truly have no complaints about this book. I loved Freya’s character and the growth she experienced throughout the course of the book. The balance between her development as an individual with the romance subplot was perfect, and I think the author really prioritized and fleshed out the character’s healing before anything else, which I appreciated. The pace of their growing affection was natural and respectful to what Freya had been through, and their dynamic expertly contrasted the interactions and flashbacks between Freya and her former fiancé.
I also enjoyed having casual queer representation through numerous side characters that were present and established enough to not feel like nothing more than token characters.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed The Wedding Season and would certainly recommend it!
