Synopsis:
A woman who wants nothing to do with love or friendship finds both in the unlikeliest ways in this hilarious and heartwarming debut by Kerry Rea.
Once upon a time, Willa Callister was a successful blogger
with a good credit score, actual hobbies, and legs that she shaved more
than once a month. But after finding her fiancé in bed with her best
friend, she now spends her days performing at children's birthday
parties in a ball gown that makes her look like a walking bottle of
Pepto Bismol. Willa dreams of starting fresh, where no one knows who she
used to be, but first she needs to save up enough money to make it
happen.
Maisie Mitchell needs something too: another bridesmaid
for her wedding. After a chance encounter at a coffee shop, Maisie
offers to pay Willa to be in her bridal party. Willa wants nothing to do
with weddings--or Maisie--but the money will give her the freedom to
start the new life she so badly desires.
Willa's bridesmaid
duties thrust her into Maisie's high-energy world and into the path of
hotshot doctor Liam Rafferty. But as Willa and Maisie form a real
friendship, and Liam's annoyingly irresistible smile makes her
reconsider her mantra that all men are trash, Willa's exit strategy
becomes way more complicated. And when a secret from Maisie's past
threatens to derail the wedding, Willa must consider whether
friendship--and romance--are worth sticking around for. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: This was very cute, and I really enjoyed it. My eye was first drawn to the cover. I love a lilac hued cover. Then I was captured by the story. It had a lot of things that I really enjoyed.
Willa has been betrayed by love, her friends, and has given up. Her focus now is saving up enough money to start somewhere fresh. I really enjoyed reading about the jobs Willa takes on to fund her new future. I also really enjoyed Willa's growth and journey that she undergoes.
The whole idea of being paid to be a bridesmaid was just something to wrap my head around. I don't think I would have done it.
Liam was a great guy to help Willa heal. I liked how the story starts off with such betrayal, and by the end, Willa is able to trust in love and friendship again. It's all just a really nice full circle.
This is also Kerry Rea's debut book, and I am impressed. I will definitely be looking out for more books by Rea in the future. I'd definitely keep your eye out for this book.
Kerry Rea is a 2017 and 2019 #Pitchwars mentee. Her work has appeared in Seventeen Magazine. She lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband and four dogs. The Wedding Ringer is her debut novel.
