Wedding Season
Ratings2
Average rating3.5
Sarah Stratford is a wedding planner hiding a rather inconvenient truth - she doesn't believe in love. Or not for herself, anyway. But as the confetti flutters away on the June breeze of yet another successful wedding she somehow finds herself agreeing to organise two more, on the same day and only two months away. Whilst her celebrity bride is all sweetness and light, her own sister soon starts driving her mad with her high expectations but very limited budget. Luckily Sara has two tried and tested friends on hand to help her. Elsa, an accomplished dress designer, who likes to keep a very low profile, and Bron, a multi-talented hairdresser who lives with her unreconstructed boyfriend and who'd like to go solo in more ways than one. They may be very good at their work but romance doesn't feature very highly in any of their lives. As the big day draws near all three women find that patience is definitely a virtue in the marriage game. As all their working hours are spent preparing for the wedding of the year plus one, they certainly haven't got any time to even think about love ... or have they?

The last Katie Fforde book that I read I ended up giving up on half way through because the characters were too high brow for my liking and I didn't relate to them. It's been a number of years since that experience and reading the inside flap of Wedding Season was enough to prompt me to give it a try.
The story of Sarah a wedding planner and her two friends Bron and Elsa is a great read. The weddings Sarah is planning still give a glimpse into that world of the wealthy but the 3 main characters are very grounded girls who are working hard in their individual wedding related buisnesses when love comes their way in unexpected ways.
I found this a great summer book, light and easy to read - very well written and with strong lead female characters and dashing male romantic interests it was a really pleasant surprise and it has given me hope that Katie Fforde may be an author that I've been unnecessarily harsh on first book round and I'm now going to read some more of her books based on how much I enjoyed this one.
Definately worth reading if you enjoy authors like Freya North, Cathy Kelly and Marian Keyes.
