Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will enjoy.

Loving this series. Full of great characters and fab writing. Will be reviewing fully as part of the full book review rather than for each part of the series.

Read as part of the bind up.


Thank you to HarperImpulse for my copy of this book via Netgalley. This is a wrap up of 4 short stories on these characters. I'm at that age where weddings are the thing. I have 3 this year and 2 hen dos, so this book is perfect for my life right now.

Nora has just got engaged and the story is the build up to the wedding and the day itself. The story is told from the women's view and its about the four main events, the engagement party, finding the dress, the hen party and the day itself.

There were a lot of characters to get to know. Nora has a big friendship group as does the groom, Harry. Nora picked four bridesmaids, Cleo, Bea, Daisy and Sarah. Cleo was my favourite, especially Drunk Cleo. She was funny and didn't take herself too seriously.

The Hen do was my favourite part of the book. I loved the fancy dress, the games and the presents. It's really got me excited for the hen do's I have this year.

Some of the chapters started with wedding anecdotes which I LOVED! They were so funny.

While there are some love interests in this book it is really a story of friendships.

This book is funny, romantic and real. From what I hear planning a wedding is stressful and Erin really captures all the elements of this process.

I loved Erin's writing style and will definitely be reading more of her books soon.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publishers Harper Impulse for this review copy given in exchange for an honest review.

This is part 2 of a four part series, Bridesmaids. I have read part 1, The One With the Engagement Party, but I have to admit it has been a while since I’ve read it. Because of that, I found it really difficult to get to grips with all the characters and the storyline, so I certainly wouldn’t recommend that you read these books out of order! To help, there is a list of characters at the beginning of the book, listing who they are, what relation they are to everyone and what they do. For me though, it was quite a long list and again I have to admit I skipped over it, which I probably shouldn’t have done as I may have remembered the characters!

This instalment is about the girls going away for a weekend to choose the wedding and bridesmaids’ dresses. We get more of a look into the girls’ relationships with each other (and their respective other-half’s) and as the story moves on you realise each of the girls are keeping a secret from the others. I loved the fancy dress themed parties, and I did give a chuckle when the other characters costumes are revealed. The idea of a fancy dress theme of London Underground stations is fabulous and has been safely stored in my memory bank for future use!

I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I could read it all in one go! I’m not a lover of books that are split into novellas, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. There are two more parts of this series to read – will I read them? Yes, of course I will!! The books aren’t bad, in fact I love the writing of Erin Lawless, but it just didn’t flow as well for separate parts of a serialisation.

I would definitely recommend to read this series, but I would say get all 4 first and read them in one go!

great read and easy to follow story line. look forward to reading more from this author.
