I won this book in a Storygraph giveaway and finally found time to fully read it. I loved the wedding tips under each chapter heading, they were so cute. The character introductions in the exposition were subtle but important to remember further down the line in the book. Almost everyone who’s introduced has a key part to the plot… if not just for some added drama.

I enjoyed reading this book — it was a nice cozy read. However, there were some grammar & spelling mistakes, and the plot seemed to go a little bit too fast and easy for me.

Overall, this was a cute and simple read for me with some uniqueness given the wedding business being a forefront for murder. I’m interested to see what else the author will come up with in the future for this series!
