The Spanish Wedding Disaster by Karen King
Soon, Maddie finds herself reluctantly organising venues, planners and ceremonies; trying not to think of her own memories of Andalucia, and those she’s lost touch with there. Meanwhile Sophie’s hoping this dreamy gesture might spur on her own boyfriend to similar plans . . . and absolutely not thinking at all about Kate’s gorgeous brother-in-law-to-be.
But Kate’s got no idea what’s going on. And as the stress piles up and the group jet off to the sunny south, it seems it’s not just Kate who might get a surprise in Spain – one that could change everything...
When
Steve decides to arrange a secret wedding for his girlfriend Kate, he
enlists the help of his brother and her two best friends… With
covert meetings and secret messages, what could possibly go wrong,
especially when he still has to propose to the woman he
loves?
Written
from the points of view of Josh, Steve’s brother and friends,
Sophie and Maddie, it’s fun and enlightening as they work together
to create the perfect arrangements in Spain. As they all collaborate
together, it highlights many issues overlooked as they realise
Steve’s idea isn’t as easy to pull-off as they thought.
Therefore, I laughed out loud at the quick thinking needed to avoid
Kate’s suspicions. However, they do manage to get everything
arranged just in time…
I
enjoyed the banter and found the whole narrative a delightful blend
of all things to do with a wedding, the interaction of the characters
and drooling over the fabulous itinerary for the Spanish adventure.
The author has written a carefully crafted novel where she has
carefully considered the responses to Steve’s outrageous idea; in
particular Kate’s. Everyone connected to the surprise doesn’t
fully agree with it, so it’s interesting how someone else’s plans
spill over into the lives of those trying to make a dream come true.
The overall atmosphere created is romantic, yet there is an overall
stronger message about the power of friendship.
To
sum up, this is the second book I have read by Ms King and I’m
looking forward to reading many more in the future.
