Some people are romantics. Some aren't. When Sophie and Maddie are summoned to a mysterious, top-secret meeting by their best friend Kate's partner, and told that he's planning to whisk Kate away for a surprise wedding in Gibraltar, it's immediately clear that bubbly florist Sophie is a total romantic. And that freewheeling, purple-haired Maddie is not.

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 stresses pile 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 . . .

So the question is - "Is a surprise wedding, organised by your boyfriend and best friends before you have even been proposed to, romantic or not?" - or perhaps the better question is, will it all end in disaster?

Add in the fact that Steve is wanting this wedding and proposal to happen to Kate while they are on holiday in June, only a few months away, in Spain, and they are all based in the UK, makes it even trickier. 

Add in the subterfuge of trying to get to know all of Kate's dream wedding details without her realising, And you have the recipe for what is a very entertaining book. 

Then there is Sophie pretending to Kate that she is engaged to her boyfriend Glenn, in order to try to gain some of these key details, but Glenn being rather spooked by it, and Maddie who is anti marriage and doesn't think this is anything other than a recipe for disaster.  A view shared by Josh the best man. 

It's an absolutely fabulously summery read, perfect beach reading, as you see just whether or not they can pull off the whole wedding, whether anyone will let anything slip, and whether or not Kate even wants to get married!  It is so amusing and enjoyable, that I loved every second of it!
