I'm delighted to welcome you today to my stop on the blog tour for wonderful and heartwarming novel The Wedding of the Year by Jill Mansell. Thank you to Anne Cater and Headline for giving me the opportunity to read and review this lovely book.

About the book:

Love, friendship and secrets revealed as the sun beats down on dazzling blue Cornish seas . . .

It's set to be a perfect day - until the chauffeur is asked to keep driving the bride around the church. This wedding definitely isn't going as planned.

Lottie is a guest at the wedding when she sees Max. No kiss has ever matched the last one they shared fifteen years ago. They were on the brink of a beautiful love story, until a shocking event tore them apart. Now here he is, still ridiculously good-looking, teasing Lottie in the old way - and that overwhelming electric attraction is back. But Max is way out of bounds.

Freya owes Cameron everything. But she doesn't love him. Which is a shame, because they're about to be married.

Ruby has been the perfect wife. When she discovers the truth about her husband, her response is reckless and delicious. But after that, nothing will ever be the same again.

About the author:

Jill Mansell's books are full of love, life and friendship and have been bringing joy to readers for twenty-five years. She started writing fiction while working in the NHS, after joining a local creative writing class. She has since written over twenty Sunday Times bestsellers, including MAYBE THIS TIME, THIS COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING and YOU AND ME, ALWAYS, and her books have sold over 11 million copies around the world.

Jill's hobbies include buying stationery, particularly magical new colours of ink for the fountain pen she uses to write all her books – Jill is one of the few authors who still write their books by hand. Jill also loves people-watching and finding new characters to put in her novels. So when you're out, make sure to always be on your best behaviour. And beware of beady-eyed authors carrying notebooks . . .

My Review:

The Wedding of the Year by Jill Mansell is a heartwarming feel good read that is pure escapism at its very best. Beautifully written and full of the warmth and humour we've come to expect from this talented author, this is the perfect read to curl up with during these cold winter nights.

Lottie is a guest at her best friend's wedding when she spots Max, who she last saw when they shared a bone melting kiss fifteen years ago - right before something happened that would tear both them and their families apart. And now here he is as gorgeous as ever, teasing Lottie in the same way he always had, with the attraction between them as strong as it ever was. But Lottie knows that Max is out of bounds and that she must resist the electricity fizzing between them…

Freya is Lottie's best friend and is about to marry Cameron, the man she owes everything to. But everything isn't as it seems, so when the wedding does not go ahead as planned, Freya is secretly relieved. Can she find the courage to tell Cameron how she really feels before it's too late?

Ruby thought she had always been the perfect wife. So when she finds out the truth about her husband, she does something reckless that is about to change her life forever…

With a larger than life cast of characters, The Wedding of the Year is a fun read that I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end. Jill Mansell's writing draws you in as these characters and their stories are brought so vividly to life that you feel as though you know them.

The Wedding of the Year is a light and uplifting read about love and friendship that is the perfect book to curl up with at the end of a long day. I always know I'm in safe hands when I start a Jill Mansell book and I have to say this one did not disappoint!

A lovely read that I would recommend.
