I just finished Wedding Dashers by Heather McBreen and here are my thoughts!!
Ada’s life has fallen apart but she has been tasked with bringing the veil for her little sister's wedding.. A sister she is drifting apart from. When her flight is cancelled she has no idea how she will get to the wedding… A man offers to buy her dinner and everything is fine but he thinks it's leading to sex… She is just about to leave his hotel room when both their phones blow up… With stark clarity they realize they are both going to the same wedding, what could go wrong? They team up to get to the wedding but things go from bad to worse in no time flat!
I enjoyed this book. One of the things I didn’t like was how Ada’s sister portrayed Jack and it led to Ada having a bad impression of a man that didn’t deserve it. It really really aggravated me and I never warmed to her sister at all.
Jack and Ava are both broken in different ways and have different ways of coping with it. I thought the way they learned to become friends after their animosity was really sweet. I don’t know if I would have continued trying to get to the wedding with all the obstacles in the way but they clearly both have more resilience than me.
The book started out really slow. I wish it had picked up a bit sooner than it did but once it got going I really enjoyed this book.
Tropes - Read if you enjoy:
▪️Enemies to lovers
▪️Forced proximity
▪️Meet Cute
▪️Slow Burn
▪️One bed
▪️Road trip romance
I enjoyed their adventure and how they opened up to each other during their time getting to a wedding that neither of them wanted to go to.
This is a debut and honestly, it is quite excellent and I will definitely be looking for this author again!
