I always ...I'm glad you enjoyed this one, Kell! I always say that I never read enough light, fun, and fluffy books but then again I just never gravitate towards them. I don't know why. I really did enjoy When You Were Gone by Morgan Matson so I am a little surprised I never went on to read anything else by her. I think I should try the one with the dogs in it, being such an animal lover myself (and not a big wedding fan). Love that you laughed so much, Kell, I think it's a rare book that can make you do that!Chiara @ Books for a Delicate Eternityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181153932836441611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-72158217769705406042018-07-24T07:03:58.387+10:002018-07-24T07:03:58.387+10:00This book sounds like so much fun Kelly, with lots...This book sounds like so much fun Kelly, with lots of laughs to be had and just general hijinks to look forward to!

I'm meant to be saving money as well. I love a hectic crazy family in YA and there's going to be no crazier family time than a wedding, is there?

I wish we could see more large families within young adult. Usually it's just a sibling thrown in for either the main character to compete against or a younger sibling to provide comic relief. Coming from a large family myself, I loved seeing how flawed they all were, how easy it was for mayhem to break out but ultimately, how they loved one another unconditionally and it was beautiful.

Our families are such a influential part of our lives, especially as teens and it's beautiful to see families portrayed as imperfect but that we continue to love unconditionally. It's such a lovely, hilarious read. Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.com
