Wedding Party by Sophie King



I really enjoyed reading this book, it had its emotional ups and downs but in the main left me smiling. The characters are all individual and very well drawn, no cardboard stereotypes among them! There is one here that everyone can identify whether it is the career woman struggling to juggle everything, the well meaning woman who still manages to get it wrong, the divorcee with regrets or the person struggling with a moral test.

There are plenty of twists and turns in the plot and I don't want to give too much away by telling you what happens but there was plenty of will they, won't they? moments and intrigue as to how personal problems would be resolved. The refreshing thing about the novel is that the characters are not all perfect, immaculate women, this novel takes real women and shows them how they are, the jealous thoughts and competition between them is well written and convincing.

Each chapters is narrated by one of the main characters and at first it was difficult to see how they would all come together but this becomes clear very soon, the ending was a real surprise and I think there is plenty of room for a sequel.
