The Wedding Season

Freya Scott was dumped by her fiancé the day before their wedding. Theirs was to be the first wedding of the season, and now Freya has eight of her friends’ weddings to attend while coping with the emotional fallout of her breakup. She and her friends come up with a plan to keep Freya from focusing on what should have been: at each wedding she’ll have a decidedly un-Freya-like task to complete. Over the course of the year, between flirting with a stranger and streaking down a hotel hallway, Freya does what she thought would be impossible: she begins to have fun. Freya is a believable, likable character who goes through significant emotional growth over the course of this contemporary romantic comedy. The secondary characters are lightly developed in comparison, but that doesn’t detract from the fast-paced, well-written story. Freya’s happily ever after is a given, and it’s no surprise who she ends up with, but the real HEA ending is Freya’s realization that being jilted was a beginning, not an end.
