The blurb:
Maddie Fraser has never been
anything other than the girl in the background: golden boy Dan’s little sister,
crazy Shona’s minion, workaholic Sebastian’s ex and now she’s also the girl in
the middle of her warring best friends.
Lauren has announced she’s getting
married – just as Sarah’s husband asks her for a divorce. Nothing in Maddie’s
career in event organising has prepared her for this particular combo of
planning and real pain. The news that her ex is also tying the knot is the
final straw. While the magazines say she should be leaning in, all she wants to
do is sleep in. But whether she likes it or not, everything is about to change
for Maddie. For better or worse, this grown-up bridesmaid is taking centre
stage…
My Opinion:
Lindsey Kelk is always up
for a fun and entertaining story, having read her I Heart Series and her About
A Girl series and I just love her style of writing. No wonder, I was really excited
about this book!
The story follows Maddie.
Maddie is such a likable and relatable heroine. She is full of energy and
passion. She is writing a Bridesmaid journal throughout this story, since she
is going to be bridesmaid at her best friend Lauren’s wedding. She is also
organising the wedding in her spare time for free. You’d say that this is not
really something special… Normally I’d agree with you, but Maddie is also an
events organiser. When she’s up for promotion she does everything to finally get
away from her assistant position.
The journal entries are
hilarious and so entertaining. It was so much fun reading them, they gave the
story an extra sparkle. Lindsey really knows how to engage the reader and she
always nails the 1st person perspective. It feels like being there
in the character’s head, experiencing everything as well.
Maddie is not only busy
organising events, no she might also have a new love interest. That part of her
story develops in an interesting way,
some drama included, but definitely with the ending I was hoping for.
While Lauren has her
wedding coming up, Maddie’s other best friend Sarah is getting divorced, so two
very opposite situations and Maddie is in the middle. The three friends are
quite something as well! They have a very special friendship, they fight, but
they are so much fun as well, I loved their scenes.
Of course at one point
everything that could go wrong goes wrong from Maddie’s perspective. I felt
that it was a bit too much, but I understand that it had to be pat of the story
and Lindsey included it all in a dramatic and entertaining way.
Lindsey has done it again
and written a FABULOUS story!!! Her writing is unique and very special, with a
flowing storyline, memorable characters and true voice. I hope this is not the
last time we hear from Maddie ;)
