What a lovely, quick read it was, a great and promising beginning to the series. I usually don't read books when they're published in parts, waiting patiently for the whole story to come out, but sometimes you need something short, right.

Ella, our main character. Oh, trouble! There is a lot of self - work before her and I hope she's going to develop some backbone. On the other hand, this shyness or rather insecurity and allowing others to bully her end in brilliant conversations and banter - there is light and humour and sharpness in our Ella and I can't wait to see her blossom. Really, the banter between her and the enigmatic Kit is absolutely the best and even the exchanges with Wanda, even though Wanda is a real bully - queen, are so funny!

There is also Ella's best friend Lucy and there are some chapters told from her point of view, so I'm introgued what's her story and what she has in store for us.

It was a warm, funny and light story already touching upon some more serious issues and I'm intrigued how it's going to develop. Already looking forward towards part 2.

A funny and sweet story about a young woman who is seamstress at a wedding shop . Her best friends set her for a blind date . When her date is 30 minute late and she is considering to leave she meet a strange man . They have something in common and they work to find the truth .
I received this book from net galley and the publisher as an ARC. Thank you! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

You cannot go wrong with a Bella Osborne read!

Ella always the bridesmaid never the bride, who also works in a wedding dress shop with awful boss Wanda.

This is part one only and full of dramas already looking foward to reading the rest of the book.

This is the perfect summer fun read. I could not put it down.
A light,read full of friends,fun,romance and oh my, the unexpected!
I can't wait to pick up the next part . I recommend this to all!

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.

This was my first read by this author and certainly won’t be my last. Loved the first part of a wedding at Sandy cove was perfect escapism to read this novella in the garden on a sunny Easter weekend.

Loved the characters and the humour in the book and Ella was a brilliant leading character and one I can’t wait to see how it develops in the next instalment as she was just coming out of her shell at the end of this one. Would love to see where her next chapter takes her and if anything blossoms between her and Kit and kit and what happens with her delectable boss Wanda and the transformation of the bridesmaid dresses from hell.

I am definitely going to look for more books by this author
