Publisher Description
With her ex soon to be married, her mum back on the dating scene, and her best friend threatening to settle down with the Most Boring Man Alive, Stevie is feeling left behind.
To top it off, her old uni mate Johnno West, whom she hasn't seen for years, keeps turning up as best man at Stevie's jobs. And he is looking so good.
Perhaps their youthful pact - that if they were both still single in their early thirties they'd get together - is not so crazy after all?
Then the enigmatic Charlie Jones walks into the frame .
Capturing the heartbeat of rural Australia, Five Bush Weddings is an uplifting romantic comedy about looking for love, second chances, and what really matters when the bouquet has been thrown, the swag's been rolled up and the party's over.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The natural beauty and quirky characters of rural Australia shine through in this affable rom-com from debut novelist Clare Fletcher. Told in alternating POVs by wedding photographer Stevie-Jean Harrison—who regularly snaps bucolic ceremonies around Queensland and New South Wales—and her longtime friend Johnno West, Five Bush Weddings sees Stevie begin to think about settling down herself. But should she lean into her past history with Johnno, or entertain a new contender in Charlie Jones? Currently in development as a feature film, this is a very Aussie tale of sometimes painful laughter and the promise of true love. Preserving the story’s spirited back-and-forth structure, dual narrators Cameron Robbie and Cassie Howarth skilfully capture the author’s bubbly comic verve.
