Bridesmaid For Hire
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In classic Meghan Quinn fashion this was such a light, fun book! A true rom-com, it had me laughing the whole way through. The adventure these characters went on was so creative and wild, and I loved how the plot progressed. From enemies to lovers, I loved Brody's and Maggie's (MC's) banter and interactions throughout. But man, did Brody have the absolute worst luck, poor guy! He needed a leprachaun and some luck! But he was so sweet and caring with Maggie, who herself was kind and endearing. I loved her dedication to her business and helping others. Also, the spice did get spicing 😉.
I loved the ending as well! I can't wait to see more of these two in the future books of the series.

P.S. "Daddy Reggie" needs to get out of here!

This was very hilarious at times and a rollercoaster ride. I didn’t really care for/had a hard time relating to the FMC Maggie (I found her rather self-absorbed and petty, which I get makes for good drama, but that’s not necessarily what I’m here for). Brody was likable but my GOSH the guy couldn’t catch a single break and that made it tense to read. I liked this book better than “A Not So Meet Cute,”
but it was a pretty brutal third-act break up with him being manipulated so badly there at the end <\spoiler> which isn’t my favorite either, but it had a good HEA that made me especially curious about some of the other couples in the Quinn-verse.

Meghan Quinn books are always reliable in the sense that you know they’ll fill a reading hole and you can usually fly through them. 

I enjoyed the way the main characters had such witty flirty banter that they thought was hateful but clearly wasn’t and was fuelled by desire. It made me chuckle because I was like come on kids, put away the foam swords and give each other a little hug. 

Maggie and Hattie’s friendship reminded me of me and my bestie and I LOVED it!! So wholesome and funny and open and that’s brill! 

Editing is not great ngl, there were too many words in places, not enough in some, paragraph breaks were missing and honestly just not great. 

Also note to self: read the blurb! I had to give Brody a different name because he has the same name as my brother and let me tell you- don’t read spicy scenes with your brothers name in because frankly it was making me want to crawl into a hole and vomit. So Brody became Henry and I just about managed. His bedroom talk was great though- also, Princess? Yes pls. 

Overall, classic Quinn tbh. Nothing outstanding or special but it was fast and easy and funny. Also I love the stand-alone interconnected vibe. I think it’s a better approach to a series because there’s no pressure to read in order!
