About this listen

The hotly anticipated wedding of Iris Devonshire, ravishing teenage daughter of celebrity couple Mia and Leo, is to be held in the gardens of their grand Palladian pile alongside the Thames. But Mia and Leo worry that she's rushing into the marriage. Just ask their best friends since college, Simon and Laney de Montmorency, whose relationship is on the rocks again - and they've already married each other twice.

On the big day, Iris' hellraiser fiancé, Dougie Everett, is not the only one flying high. As Iris rides up the aisle on a white stallion, a hot air balloon appears over the woods, heading straight for the ceremony. Its arrival is about to transform the lives and loves of some of the wedding guests forever.

The Summer Wedding is a sizzling summer comedy set against the beautiful backdrops of the Chilterns, Spain, Africa, and LA.

Love Fiona Walker. She is at her best here - comedic situations that make you laugh out loud. Good story and the narrator is really good - kept me interested straight from the start.

Hilarious 😂

This book was very long and took a long time to get to the part that was worth listening to, I tried to start this once and then stopped, I then took the advice of another reviewer and skipped the first few chapters. I really didn't miss anything and got the gist of what you needed to know at the beginning to make sense of the rest. The story gets better and better towards the end with the humour coming out more and more. A tough book to read I imagine and the narrator does her best in all ways, including to get the humour across.

To say I liked and loathed this in equal measure would be going a bit far as I really didn't care that much to have such strong sentiments. I do like some bits and some characters. Was it too long? Maybe. I prefer other titles by this author but she can write, she can tell a story. All in all my review is confused because I have such mixed ideas about whether or not to recommend this book. So make of it what you will.

A mixed bag of an epic story

What did you like most about The Summer Wedding?

It was a light hearted frivolous story that would be ideal for the beach . It was easy to listen to although at times there were so many characters I lost track if I wasn't concentrating.

It made me smile wryly in places at some of the situations they found themselves in

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Only listened to Book 1 so far

I liked most of the characters at different times throughout the book it changed as to the bit of the book I was at
