Hey guys! Today I am bringing Y'all a non-spoiler book review for the White Wedding by Milly Johnson!
So without any more chatter let's get started.
From Goodreads:
It's the day they've always dreamed about. But will it turn out to be a nightmare …?
Bel is in the midst of planning her perfect wedding when disaster strikes and everything she thought she knew is turned on its head. Can she hold it all together and, with the help of her friends, and a mysterious man she meets unexpectedly, turns disaster into triumph?
Bel's friend, ice-cream parlour owner Violet, is engaged to Glyn, who is besotted by her although Violet fell out of love with him long ago. But however trapped she feels in the relationship, she can't quite say the words, 'I don't want to marry you anymore.' Then, just when she's about to give up and resign herself to married life, she finds love in the most surprising of places. Will duty rule her heart or will she allow herself to be swept off her feet?
Max was planning a quick registry office do with her fiancé Stuart until she sees a TV programme about traveller brides and becomes determined to have the most extravagantly glitzy wedding ever. But in all the excitement has she lost sight of what's really important? Does she want the wedding more than she wants the groom?
And as all three friends find the dress of their dreams at the White Wedding bridal shop, its owner, the lovely Freya, guarantees that her gowns will bring them happiness - though maybe not quite in the way they expected …
Critique:
The book follows three women, who are due to get married and the book is split into each of their individual stories, although each woman is in each others story, providing an intertwining story throughout the three forthcoming weddings. The three characters met in Freya's wedding shop, White Wedding, and became firm friends, helping each other through the coming months.
It has likeable, and realistic characters who aren't skinny, drop dead gorgeous heroines but are real women, with real problems, and real lifestyles.
I loved that when I read each of their stories, I could find myself relating to bits and bobs within them, and laughing and crying along with them too.
I love how Milly brings 3 strangers together because of their weddings, and they strike up a close bond, like only women can very quickly.
My favourite character was definitely Bel, I felt so sorry for her and really warmed to her, praying that she would see sense in the end (don't want to spoil it so won't say any more!). She was just so nice, and perhaps the character who gets the most time in the book, although just by a bit. I did like the others but I found myself wanting to shake Max and tell her even though your fiance is a jerk quit trying to strong-arm him into your fantasy wedding. explain why you want one!
and Violet stop stringing Glen along he is totally playing you! gah!
Still, this is a good story and I totally recommend this book if you are looking for a good chick-lit book and you want some fluff and heart-pounding stress plus the aww moments!
Until next time my friends
