Loved it! Excellent flirty vibe with plenty of laughs and the culinary additions. Enjoyed to rival families trope and the friends to something more angst.

I obviously read too damn much because I didn’t realize I have actually read this before! I went to review on my goodreads and a review popped up 😂 all it said was “10/10 loved” and tbh, I couldn’t have said it better again.

I absolutely love the new covers and I can’t wait to buy them.

Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for providing this book, with my honest review below.

The Wedding Menu was a sweet romance that was so incredibly inventive in how it was structured that I felt I was an archaeologist in Amelie’s story. Opening up to Amelie’s friend’s wedding a year ago, we see her meet cute with Ian while she informs him about how her other best friend and her are on the outs due to her friend stealing her wedding. Only issue we have here? Amelie isn’t engaged to her boyfriend of 15 years though she desperately wants to be (yes, I know, how and why was this woman in such delusion she clearly expressed her desire to marry and yet is still by this guy’s side?). Sooo her friend stole her dream wedding idea, which is the total opposite of her own style, and meanwhile Amelie is on tenterhooks waiting for a guy to propose who is instead buying cock rings for himself. Yep.

Obviously with that type of opening, and sweet Ian’s endeavor to make the night fun, I was eager to see what happened next. But we are instead fast forwarded to present day and know that nothing good has happened in the months since, and in fact some terrible things have come to pass. The back and forth between past and present is so engaging that it felt every flashback was a tantalizing morsel that was just teasing me about all the events I was dying to know about.

It all comes together, but I love when my romances introduce mysteries in untraditional ways, and The Wedding Menu masterfully did that. If you want to be hooked, read this one, but do it when you have a full day to power through, otherwise it’s all you’ll think about!
