Marry Me

by Sarah Ball, Sarah Harris

Like most girls, Abby has always dreamed of her wedding day. When she was eight she imagined she'd look like a fairy princess. At thirteen it was the perfect meringue and yards of ivory tulle, at sixteen jeans and her favourite Doc Martins. The only constant in her wedding plans has been Nathan Priestly.

Nathan was the school heartthrob and for Abby, the one that got away. Only now Nathan's about to get married to one of Abby's best friends and Abby is having to accept that over a decades' worth of unrequited love will remain just that. The better part of Abby is happy for them both. She's even volunteered to be their DJ at the reception, although her secret play-list consists of: 'Don't Marry Her', 'Temptation' and the complete works of Alanis Morissette. Is Abby destined to be always the DJ and never the bride . . . ?

This book took me by surprise. I picked it up as a time filler and I wasn't really into it to start with, then all of a sudden it had me hooked. This was a much deeper story than I'd imagined it was going to be and I really enjoyed it.

3.5!!! this book is trying to look dumb and playful but its honestly so much more! it shows how Abby grows and the struggles of people in their 20s and 30s (:

recommend!

3.5 stars

I would totally be on board with friends to lovers if the author gave me any kind of romantic tension with Ed from the beginning

BUT THERE WAS NOTHING, just signs of jealousy at the mid point, I was like, waaaaait.. is this who we're supposed to be rooting for?

And gosh, Nathan was perfect the entire time. Now, why would you make me root for the wrong guy?? I was here hoping this girl would break up a marriage!! She should've at least given Nathan some flaws???

The ending of the book felt rushed. It feels like the author went into the book with one idea and midway decided to switch up the story/ change some characters' personalities completely

Rated 2.5 stars.

It was just a bit meh.
I didn't want to pick it up and read it... I should stick to my instincts.

A fun story about the one who got away - was he really the one or not? Second read of this book, since I'd kept it, I knew I must have liked it the first time round. It's light and fluffy but has some lump in throat moments.

i cant remember which i read first marry me or nine months but loved them both and want to read written in the stars as well.

Another accidental reread. Still fun the second time through. I'm almost inspired to make a playlist of all the songs mentioned in the book.
