I struggled to finish this book. I love love stories, but this one was hard for me to get into.........................................................................................................................................

It took me a little while to finish this book - since this isn't the normal genre that I usually read. But while I was getting through the book, I found myself obsessed with the sisters and their stories. Each sister had "roles," that they felt like the fit when they were younger - now that they're older (and with the loss of their mother and their father's health condition) when they get together the reverted back to their younger roles. As you get to know the sisters, you see the struggles that they're all personally going through but don't want to burden their loved ones with. I'm glad to read that each sister had a great support system. This was an amazing story about family bond and how you can move from the loss of a loved one. That we are allowed to break down and not expect too much of ourselves, because to those who matter, what we're doing is enough.

Also! The description of Arran throughout the book makes me want to visit Scotland even more.

Thanks to #netgalley, Ellie Henderson, and Joffe Books, for this arc.

I spent last summer in Scotland and reading this book made me travel back there.

I loved the story between the girls and how it wall comes together. Would read again and reccomend to everyone.

Fabulous read that inspires all the warm and cosy feels. The characters are fun and friendly and the setting is amazing. The three storylines interweave effortlessly to create a wonderful book. I really enjoyed reading this book and would highly recommend for any time of the year.

Thank you Netgalley

I'm a sucker for any book that takes place in the UK/Scotland, and this book did not disappoint. A Summer Wedding on Arran is a must-read for any British rom-com fan.

A Summer Wedding on Arran was lighthearted story following three sister and an upcoming wedding. The sorry dealt with topics of infertility, dementia, and adoption. I enjoyed the story, but it left me wanting more from the characters. Thank you again to the publisher and netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A lovely book about three sisters, their childhood growing up I.reland, and returning their when they are older. A nice book to read on a lovely sunny summer holiday.

What a cute story about three sisters and their childhood home in Arran, Ireland. Kristy, Emma, and Amy are such lovely trip and so uplifting to each other; especially during the stress of Emma’s upcoming wedding. This was a very relaxing read that I could picture reading on the beach with a cocktail in hand. And I love that the ending was tied up, nice and neat, with a bow for us readers.

A really fun read that I read in only a few short days! It kept me entertained throughout with well developed characters and a fun storyline! Perfect way to end the summer!

I loved this book - a really nice read that I didn’t want to put down. I live books that make me want to visit places and this was one of them.

Cute family story set off the coast of Scotland. It’s super light and fluffy- no massive drama or twists. It’s quite a quick read, I finished it in about 3 hours.

This story has a cute concept, but jumps immediately into the depth of the story, and with so many characters, it was hard to follow who was who and what the main plot was.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was a lovely story about family, and grief, all the while set in a gorgeous Scottish setting. I loved getting to know the sisters and read as their story unfolded.

Set on the beautiful Isle of Arran this story is about the lives of three very different sisters who get together for a family wedding. They are all hiding secrets from the rest of the family and there are lots of twists and turns before the wedding takes place. I would recommend this as a perfect holiday read.

This was an absolutely beautiful book and was paced just right.

I went over to Scotland a few months ago and this made me want to drive straight over to Arran (with the minor detail of a ferry in the way!).

The book was full of surprises and wasn't just about a wedding - but a beautiful family story, of sisters coming back together and putting the wedding together, but also some heavy secrets for them to navigate together (and tough topics to approach in a such a book). As the wedding and the book comes together, you want to raise a glass to the happy couple, Emma and Max, and enjoy their beautiful island home.

The characters were lovely, and enjoy getting to meet the side characters, even the irritating guests and neighbours..

Can we have book 2 now to see where the epilogue leads?

A heart-warming, summer escapism read about three sisters, the hustle of preparing for a wedding and the secrets each sister has about their lives. Written across the three POVs of the sisters – Kirsty (oldest), Emma (middle & the bride) and Amy (youngest) - following their journeys as they prepare for Emma’s big day. The sisters are likeable, warm and it’s very easy to care for them, but I have to admit Emma was my favourite. I finished the book wishing I could have such sisters.

The story plot has a lot of emotional ups and down as each sister’s secret come is scratched away with each passing chapter. I found myself a little surprised as I thought I pinned down Kirsty’s secret early on, but a big twist caught me out to my delight (love it when the writing can surprise the reader). I did find a lot of drama woven throughout the story. At times, I struggled to catch my breath with all the plot turns coming out the woodwork.

The detail of the landscape is majesty and paints a rich picture to the reader accurately reflecting the beauty of the Isle of Arran. Though Scotland isn’t always as sunny and pleasant on the West coast as enjoyed throughout the story, I loved that details like that were considered in the plot and the wedding had a back-up plan in case of rain. I did think there are some geographical mistakes about places on Arran (from my previous visits), but this doesn’t detract from the story.

There are two emotional and hard-hitting medical issues mentioned in the story. I thought the story handled them great realism, empathy and sensitively. The elements of dementia struck me the most, I’ve people I love to this condition. I love to see the issues raised in fiction, the more we know the signs the more chance we can catch it early in our loved ones to fight for them.

Set in Scotland, 3 sisters are back together for a wedding
Kirsty the eldest runs a b&b with her husband is organising the wedding but discovered some shocking news when she was looking in the attic at her dads house
Emma whose wedding it is is a lawyer and lives in Edinburgh with her fiancé who is also a lawyer
Amy is a yoga instructor and the youngest lives in Vancouver Canada with her casual boyfriend but wants to move back home
Each one has a secret they need to share, will they be able to open up or will the secrets stay untold ?

A novel set in Scotland is always a good start, with lovely settings and good characters to match.. You will fall for this book and you will get a great read. 5 stars.

Thanks to |Netgalley and publisher for this ARC

A fantastic, heart-warming story of three sisters who are gathering again for the first time since their mother passed away two years ago. This time it's for more joyous a reason - middle sister Emma is getting married!

Emma and youngest sister Amy, who normally lives in Canada, are returning to their old family home Meadowbank Cottage which their oldest sister Kirsty is running as a B&B with her husband.

Emma is super laid back about the wedding arrangements but has some important news to share with her husband to be before the big day. Kirsty also has some news to share.

Expect lots of smiles, and some tears, but still a fabulous book.

Perfect summer read!

PS. I've already looked up the Isle of Arran as a holiday destination. It looks absolutely stunning!

Lovely setting for a book, it was beautiful and the summer descriptions of the settings and scenery were lovely. The three sisters are all very charming, this was just a sweet book by a new author to me. I look forward to reading more of her work. Thank you NetGalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
