the wedding forecast was my first book by nina kenwood and it won’t be my last because i have already downloaded her other books after enjoying this one 👏🏻

this book was a very well executed and refreshing romcom and it was a truly lovely surprise for me because while reading this book i was completely immersed in the story while laughing and feeling a lot of different emotions :)

reading about anna and mac was such a pleasure and their chemistry was truly 🔛 🔝 they were flirty, they were vulnerable, they were adorable and well i was curios about how their story could have ended and it didn’t disappoint me ☺️

this book’s perfect if u are in the mood for something short n’ sweet (😁) but also refreshing because for me as i said before it was so unexpected to ending up reading this one is such a short time because of my curiosity about how the story would develop and so
if u are in the mood for a GOOD romcom just go for this one without thinking much because it will most likely surprise u trust me :)

a lot of thanks to netgalley and aria & aries team for sending me this lovely e-arc in exchange for my honest opinion!

This is romantic comedy at it's best. I laughed the whole way through this story. It really brightened my day and I could not put it down. Anna is at her best friend's wedding but she is not having the best of time as her ex is the groomsman and he has brought along his new girlfriend. Anna has to get along with them all, just for one day as she keeps reminding herself. Then Joel tells her something that she never thought she would hear and it is not good. Patrick is the wedding photographer and Anna knows that this is the only way she can forget the news she has just heard. But then another man is thrown into the mix and Anna has never been more confused in her life. It was a brilliantly funny romantic comedy that will leave you in stitches and I cannot wait to read more of Nina's books.

Super cute and an enjoyable read from the start. I loved Anna as soon as we met her and then loved Mac straight away too. An excellent mix of cute, funny, heartfelt and hot.

I couldn't put this down! Such a great rom-com and a lovely ending that made my day. Gave me Bridget Jones vibes. Definitely one of my favourite books I've read this year.

The Wedding Forcast is a heartwarming, funny, romantic and moving read. I really enjoyed Anna and Mac as characters and their family and friends. I hope there’s a sequel one day. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read an ARC.

When Anna and her ex are both part of the bridal party at their friends' wedding, Anna is determined to still enjoy the day. Enter Patrick, the wedding photographer, and Mac, one of the groom's best friends. Will Anna's heart and head agree on which person she should fall for?

The Wedding Forecast was a fantastic, feel good read and has been a perfect companion during the night feeds with my 4 month old. It is a story full of heart and hope. It also helps that a love of books and book shops comes through too! The chemistry between the characters was beautifully created. The protagonist, Anna, was likeable and incredibly relatable. I found myself engrossed in the novel and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the characters and witness their relationships with one another. This book would make a wonderful summer read so be sure to add it to your TBR!

Thank you to Aria & Aries, Nina Kenwood and Netgalley for this e ARC.

The Wedding Forecast
For Anna being a bridesmaid for her best friend Hayley is going to be a trial. Her ex Joel is a groomsman as best friend of the groom he is also bringing his new girlfriend and they have news that devastates Anna.
Hoping she can get through the wedding without breaking down she meets Max another great friend of the groom, he is a not so famous actor now living in New York. They have a couple of moments at the wedding where their mutual attraction leads to some intense moments.
Max returns to New York and when Hayley invites Anna to join her on a work trip to New York they make arrangements to meet up with Max, with Anna and Max giving in to their feelings but knowing a long distance relationship just wouldn’t work Anna returns home to Melbourne.
Having written one novel Anna starts another, changes her job and starts getting on with her life now over Joel but still missing Max.
It’s good to follow Anna as she heals and puts her future first, with some amusing moments this is an enjoyable read with a lovely if rather abrupt finale. I would of loved an epilogue to see into her future happiness.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

I enjoyed this book and read it pretty much in one sitting. It was well paced and well written. The characters were well developed and the romance felt realistic. My only issue is that it ended too abruptly. I would have liked to have seen more lasting resolution, perhaps with an epilogue or another chapter then followed by an epilogue set a year or so later.
If you’re looking for a quick, fun read I’d recommend picking this up.

Thanks to Netgalley and Aria & Aries for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Awesome romcom that hit all the right notes and even had some depth. Anna and Joel dated for 6 years and now she has to face him at her best friends wedding ...with his new girlfriend. Anna is funny and courageous and determined to be the best bridesmaid ever. She is going to get through this. And maybe she can also have some fun - in between all the complex emotions. There are a few interesting contenders for Anna's attention at the wedding. Her choice would lead to two very different paths.

I loved the injection of humour - I don't often laugh out loud when reading - and the characters felt quite real. I enjoyed the involvement of the mother's, who often get ignored in this kind of story. It created a family environment and back-story that is often ignored. There were some great introspective moments - where Anna has to decide what will make her happy and what kind of compromises accompany that. I appreciated that not every love story is rainbows and sunshine. Overall, I really enjoyed this.

4.25⭐️. I absolutely binged this book - it’s not reinventing the wheel in any way but something about it just had me hooked from the start. Anna was a really likeable FMC - she’s in a very vulnerable place at the start of the book, attending her best friend’s wedding as the maid of honour, where her ex of 8 years, who she split with 4 months ago, is also attending as the best man (and with his new girlfriend). While in the depths of post-breakup sadness, she’s persuaded by the mums (hers and her best friend, Hayley’s) to pay $30 to a psychic who will then email her the name of her soulmate. His name is Patrick and she’s told that she’ll meet him within the next 6 months. Time is running out but, as fate would have it, the wedding photographer is a single man named Patrick. However, there’s also the matter of the other groomsman, Mac, who’s over from America for the wedding. However, while there is an element of love triangle, I had a clear favourite from the beginning!

The romance starts off quite insta-lovey, which usually wouldn’t be my thing, but I really enjoyed seeing the relationship develop throughout the course of the book. There were lots of moments, particularly with Anna and Hayley’s mums, that had me chuckling, and the side characters were really prominent in this book, which gave strong found (& actual) family vibes. Alongside her day job, Anna is also an author, and that added another interesting element to the plot. And while it was single POV, which again wouldn’t usually be my favourite for a romance, it really worked for this story because it meant that we felt all of Anna’s uncertainty as she navigated her life post-breakup and re-entered the dating scene.

Overall, a really fun romcom that also felt like it had some depth. Would 100% recommend to readers of this genre.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-ARC of this book.
