The Wedding Forecast

When I heard that award-winning YA author Nina Kenwood was releasing her first book for adult readers, I could barely contain my glee. Kenwood’s first two books – It Sounded Better in My Head and Unnecessary Drama – were two of the funniest, most relatable, most engaging books I’d read for years, and the idea that I could have all that AND a grown-up protagonist, with grown-up challenges to overcome, was exhilarating.

In The Wedding Forecast, Anna finds herself in the unenviable position of being in the same wedding party as the recent ex with whom she thought she would be spending the rest of her life. To make matters worse, said ex will be debuting his new girlfriend at the event. Anna’s mum is buying her sexy lingerie because of a psychic’s forecast and her best friend is trying to set her up with the perfect-on-paper wedding photographer, but it’s the groom’s almost-famous best friend Mac with whom sparks fly. But with Mac’s life and career in the US and Anna’s in Australia, it could never go anywhere, right?

The Wedding Forecast is the perfect aged-up addition to Kenwood’s bibliography. It boasts the author’s signature wit and humour, a cast of perfectly believable characters, whip-smart dialogue and plausible real-world situations. It’s a charming, diverting novel for readers who love contemporary rom-coms with lots of heart and laughs to match.
