'An instant classic of a rom-com . . . perfect feel-good escapism' - Laura Jane Williams
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 organised, 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 realises that despite herself, she might just be having fun.
By the time the final wedding arrives, she's not the same woman she was at the start of the season. And maybe her own love story isn't over just yet . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A heartbroken woman rediscovers her spunk in this witty rom-com from Birchall (The Secret Bridesmaid). London brand manager Freya Scott is left reeling when her fiancé, Matthew, breaks up with her minutes before their wedding. Freya desperately tries to forget her pain and humiliation, but with seven weddings looming in her social calendar, it feels impossible. Her best friend, Ruby, cooks up a plan to help her move on from Matthew—a task list entitled "How to Survive the Wedding Season." Freya must complete one challenge at each ceremony, with tasks ranging from stealing a man's cuff links to securing a good-night kiss. As Freya embraces the survival guide, she's inches closer to healing—and even starts to fall for someone new. But Matthew's also in attendance at the weddings, and their interactions leave Freya tempted to succumb to their familiar connection, even if it means unraveling all her hard-earned progress. Birchall strikes gold with the comedic cadence of her prose and balances the humor with her winning heroine's sincere efforts to find her inner strength. This is a snappy, empowering pick for fans of Sophie Kinsella.
