The Bad Bridesmaid
Rachael Johns
Reviewed by Helen
We met Winifred Darling, Fred in The Other Bridget Jones, which I loved and now Fred who does not believe in love at all and who is writing a book called 21 Rules For Not Catching Feelings has just been asked to be maid of honour at her mother’s sixth wedding to say she is not happy is beyond belief but when an all expenses trip to Norfolk Island is offered by her soon to be new step father and her mother so badly wants her there she decides that it will be a good break to write over the week, we will see.
Always on the lookout for good looking men Fred spies a very handsome one at the airport and nick names him hot-muso and is shocked to find out when they arrive at the resort that he is going to be her new step-brother, Leo but getting to know him they realise that neither of them are keen on this marriage and set a up “operation Break-up” to stop the wedding at least for the time being, will they succeed?
The only problem is that the more time they spend together creating plans the more time that the feelings neither were looking for grow and OMG is Fred starting to break her 21 rules of catching feelings? Leo and Fred live on opposite sides of the world and both have very different thoughts on love and what it brings could there be a chance that together they can work through Fred’s rules?
I did love this one and Leo he is the best and of course Fred how can you not love Fred, this one made me laugh, smile and sigh as the things that happen on Norfolk Island cause dramas throughout the two families the setting is beautiful and the many characters from each family are wonderful, this is one that I highly recommend, make time for reading because you will not want to put it down after you pick it up.
Thank you Rachael Johns for another brilliant story you never fail to make me smile.
