The Wedding Season
The Wedding Season: A Novel | Katy Birchall
6 posts | 8 read | 2 to read
Four Weddings and a Funeral meets The Wedding Party in Katy Birchall's The Wedding Season: when a recently jilted bride is forced to attend seven weddings in one summer, her friends devise a series of challenges as distraction. 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. From getting stuck in an old church bathroom and needing to be rescued by the vicar to making out with a barman at a French chateau, Freya realizes that despite herself, she might just be having fun. 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.

Such a perfect spring read! I loved the banter and Freya's development and all her chemistry with Jamie and no one really being a villain and just everything, you guys, the whole book. #womensfiction #romcom

Enjoying lunch and a few pages in a pharmacy complete with snack counter - Reminds me of my own hometown.

This book is not bringing me joy.

Much more serious than I‘m looking for at the moment.

LiteraryinLawrence With that cover, I wouldn‘t have expected serious! 2y
kimmypete1 @LiteraryinLawrence Yes! And the blurb said something about outrageous challenges so I thought it would be funny. It‘s not. (edited) 2y

Long winded in parts but such a fun story about a forced change of plans and reconciling who you always thought you'd be with a chance to have so much more. Absolutely adored the side characters (best friends).

A perfect May read as wedding season for many begins! The book opens with Freya, the day before her wedding. She jokes with her MOH that this is the beginning of a few months of fun ahead- but nothing goes as planned. The cast size seems unwieldy at the start but soon the pacing hits a good rhythm and this makes for a fun (and sometimes touching) read. I liked Freya‘s growth throughout- it‘s a satisfying and entertaining read!

So cute! This was the perfect book to read while I was on vacay at the beach; I laughed, I cried, I smiled. Love that she had a supportive group of friends, the tasks were so fun, and she learned she was stronger than she thought. I was worried portions of the book would slip into a downward spiral of self doubt or be too maudlin, but it never did.
