Welcome to Litsy!

Although this is billed as a romcom I didn‘t find it at all funny, but I also didn‘t feel like it was trying to be. Rather it was a romance with a bit more substance than most and, as the author says in her acknowledgment, “something of a love letter to bookshops and bookselling”. Most enjoyable. #ozfiction

First one down for #10BeforeTheEnd

Kenwood captures the disorienting feeling of overwhelming frustrated desire really well. Even though it doesn‘t follow the standard rom-com structure, it flows from the wedding to the situationship to the resolution really well. So, The Wedding Forecast is a perfectly serviceable rom-com – you just need to make sure you know what you‘re getting going in.

Far from groundbreaking but a passable modern romcom novel. Similar in style (perhaps a bit too derivative) to Emily Henry novels, particularly with the heroine being a writer. Obviously many young women are following the advice to write what they know!
Anna and Mac are both members of the bridal party, and there is an obvious attraction. But they live on opposite sides of the world.
Predictable but entertaining and fluffy.
