I pray this day finds you all in good spirits, and that the Lord is doing amazing things in your life.

Unfortunately, the last few days have been really tough for me, and I'm not feeling very positive today, but I really wanted to share my review of an upcoming collection of sweet novellas with a wedding theme.

I really enjoyed this one, and I'm sure a lot of you are going to as well.

My Review:

Always a Wedding Planner is a sweet and heartwarming collection of four novellas that revolves around a group of best friends who own a wedding planning business. Each lady has been down on her luck when it comes to finding her Mr. Right, and each will learn that God's plan is often not what we expect, and sometimes we find love in the most unusual places.

I really enjoyed this collection, and loved how it focused on the importance of faith, family and friendship. Each story was a lovely little treat, although I personally loved the first and the fourth stories the most. The first really touched my heart as it dives into the topics of infertility and feeling inferior in a relationship, and I thought the author did a fantastic job of representing these issues authentically and intimately to the reader.

I loved the way all four stories tied together to showcase the bigger picture, and I found myself breezing through this collection pretty quick. It was clean, sweet and swoon worthy, and exactly the type of read I generally look for during the spring and summer months.

Final Rating: 4/5.

I definitely recommend this adorable collection, and I was really impressed with how well developed each of the stories was for the word count each author had to work with!

Thanks so much to Barbour Publishing for allowing me to advance read and review this!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
