Title: An Island WeddingAuthor: Jenny ColganFormat reviewed: EbookSource: NetgalleyPublisher: SpherePublication Date: 23rd June 2022Rating: 5 Stars
Olivia and Anthony are planning A Very Extravagant Wedding at the newest hotel on the tiny Scottish island of Mure. They're flying in chefs, musicians and something called a living flower wall... and no one is even allowed to think the word bridezilla.
Flora is trying - and failing - not to let Olivia and Anthony's wedding distract her from planning her own big day with Joel. But the couple have wildly different ideas about how to celebrate and somehow, just when their relationship should be plain sailing, everything is suddenly very hard indeed.
And then there's Lorna and Saif. The local headmistress and the GP desperately keeping their relationship a secret to protect his sons. But while they're looking out for the boys, who's looking out for them?
Three couples. One midsummer's night. Can everyone get their happy ever after?
What an exceptional finale to the Island of Mure series. I'm gutted that the series is allegedly at an end, but what a great way to go out.
But I am convinced that can't really be where some of these characters stories end, one in particular I would love to see more of, even in a spin off, as it's the characters that have taken a spot in my heart since their first introduction.
And then there is Flora and Joel, and their wedding and they aren't the only ones possibly getting married during this novel.
Agot is at her bossy best and I loved seeing a bit of development from her, and we get to see a bit more of Jan which was interesting.
And one of my favourite Colgan features is present, the intro letter at the start of the book to bring new and existing readers right up to date with key parts of the series to date, which for those of us that have been reading it, but also read a lot of other books between releases, gives just enough catch up, to be able to dive straight in easily.
This is everything I could have wanted from a Jenny Colgan book, it's warm, it has emotion, its funny, its romantic and its downright brilliant.
Thank you to Sphere and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
