My Best Friend’s Wedding – ARC Book Review

My Best Friend's Wedding: An absolutely perfect feel-good romantic comedy by [Tilly Tennant]

Falling snow, sparkling champagne and an ex that Libby would rather forget…

Everything was in place for Libby’s own wedding day – the ancient church with roses around the door, the frothy white wedding dress of her dreams… That is until her Mr Right, Rufus, turned out to be Mr Wrong and dumped her out of the blue. For her cousin.

Six months later, Libby is the chief bridesmaid for her best friend Willow in a Christmas Eve wedding at stately home Lovage Hall. Despite having to wear an enormous fuchsia dress, Libby knows she has to look her best, as the wedding is the first time she will see Rufus again…

As the guests sip champagne at the beautiful reception, and Libby does her best to avoid her ex, the snow outside falls faster and faster, making it impossible for the guests to leave. Snowed in at Lovage Hall, Libby is charmed by American Noah with his dark cropped hair and dimpled cheeks, and the two of them share their dreams and a very passionate kiss.

But when the morning comes, and the snow melts, a shocking revelation about Noah comes to light and Rufus reveals a devastating secret. Can Libby trust her heart to make the right decision for her own happy ending?

A gorgeous, romantic heart-warming read with characters that will find their way into your heart and stay there. Perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Shari Low and Jenny Colgan.

Rating:- 2.5 / 5 stars

I have always been excited whenever I get an ARC copy of Tilly Tennant’s books and usually, I would enjoy these books. Unfortunately, this book is not my cup of tea.

Meet Libby, who was almost preparing for her own wedding when she found out that her soon to be husband Rufus had made her cousin pregnant. Now Libby must face him at her best friend, Willow’s wedding as Willow’s maid of honor. While at the wedding, she meets Noah who had come from California to attend his friend’s wedding and Rufus was also attending the wedding. A snow storm prevents the guest in the hotel from leaving the hotel and the story follows afterwards.

Honestly, reading this book made me think that I was watching a Hallmark movie and a completely unrealistic romcom. Although the writing was great, I realized I didn’t draw into the book like I usually do with Tilly’s books. The whole situation being stuck in a hotel and then falling in love with a complete random stranger you met seemed to be cliche and unrealistic. So overall, even though I skimmed through the book, I didn’t really enjoy this book as much as I did with her previous books.

Thank You Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
