About the Book:
Anna was never going to have an easy time at her best friend's wedding. She's the bridesmaid; her ex, Joel, is a groomsman. But she's determined to get through the festivities with a smile on her face. Despite the fact that Joel is bringing his new partner, Bianca. Despite the fact she's stuck sharing a house with the newly in-love couple. And despite the fact Anna has just turned thirty and her life is not exactly where she thought it would be by now. Anna has all her feelings completely under control—right up until the moment Joel drops a bombshell that rocks her to her core.
She needs a distraction, and Patrick, the wedding photographer, just might be the solution. Everyone has decided he is perfect for her. He is perfect for her. But the arrival of Mac, a not-quite-famous actor who has flown in from New York, complicates everything.
Much-loved YA author Nina Kenwood hits the spot with her first novel for adults. Laugh-out-loud funny with chemistry that jumps off the page, The Wedding Forecast will be the feel-good romcom of the summer.

My Thoughts:
Nina Kenwood's The Wedding Forecast is a delightful blend of humour, romance, and self-discovery. This novel offers a fresh perspective on love and life, going beyond the typical tropes to explore deeper themes of friendship, family, and personal fulfilment.
With its smart and engaging plot, the story is well-paced and full of twists and turns that keep the reader engaged. Kenwood's witty writing style and relatable characters make the novel a joy to read. The main character, Anna, is a strong, independent woman who is navigating both her career and personal life, both of which are at a crisis point. I loved Anna and really enjoyed her story arc.
For book lovers, this novel is a real treat. Kenwood's passion for books and bookstores shines through, creating a warm and nostalgic atmosphere. Not only is Anna an author, but she's a reader, and a lover of books. I adored the Brooklyn book tour that Patrick takes her on while she's in New York, and of course, the bookstore that ultimately features heavily within the story is a place I wish really existed. In my own neighbourhood, of course.
"Ideas are easy, but reality is this. We have separate lives. Right people, wrong time. We will love each other in the best ways we can, while each following our own dreams. It's messy, it's painful, but that's what we have."
If you're looking for a swoon worthy romance that is also smart and funny, The Wedding Forecast is a must-read. This novel is perfect for fans of contemporary fiction, chick lit, and books about finding your place in the world. It hit all the right notes for me and made for a wonderful weekend of reading.
"This is like a tease of the happiness I could have but won't. This is like watching the best trailer I've ever seen for a movie that will never be released."
Thanks to the publisher for the review copy.
