Book Review: Your Perfect Year

25th Apr 202213th Apr 2022Leave a comment

This book is a little rusty in my memory, since I read it back in 2020, but I wanted to make sure I got the review in since it was a translated book and I know I certainly have not read enough of those in my lifetime.

I can't even remember the last time I went to a wedding—that's how far "wedding season" is in the rearview mirror for me, but that doesn't mean I don't love reading about them! When I came across The Wedding Season by Katy Birchall (in stores May 3, just in time for the wedding ramp up), … Continue reading Book Review: The Wedding Season
