The Bridesmaid Wore Combat Boots: A Sapphic Romance
July, 2012.
Sarah never wanted to be a bridesmaid—especially not at a straight wedding. But when her old college friend Renee asks, she can’t say no. Cue a pastel dress, forced smiles, and a weekend of hetero hoopla.
Sarah’s bracing herself for bad vegan appetizers, awkward small talk, and dodging the groomsmen… until Amanda walks in.
the woman Sarah’s been half in love with since college. The one who broke her heart after a single, unforgettable night. The one who just might be looking at her now like she’s been regretting it ever since.
What follows is a whirlwind of champagne-fueled confessions, bathroom-door seductions, and family drama that could derail more than just the wedding seating chart. Between boozy brunches, passive-aggressive toasts, and a chain of events involving pizza delivery and an ill-advised game of Truth or Dare, Sarah has to decide if she’s ready to forgive—and Amanda has to prove she’s worth the risk.
Witty, heartfelt, and a little bit scandalous, The Bridesmaid Wore Combat Boots is a romantic comedy about second chances, sapphic sparks, and finding your happily-ever-after in the unlikeliest of places.

I wanted to love this but there are too many inconsistencies (like Jordan is Amanda’s ex and then inexplicably Sarah’s, the ownership and significance of a ring on a chain to name a few).
The first person POV tries a bit too hard to be unique and quirky and there are. A LOT of similes, some of which don’t really make sense.
Overall, while technically this manuscript is perfect (no typos or spelling mistakes that I could see anyway) the manuscript could do with another round of edits.
Significant quote:
I turned off the light, pulled the blanket up, put my face in the pillow she’d just used, and wondered what it says about a person who hates straight weddings that I kept imagining what we’d look like dancing in front of a room full of people clapping like they’d invented us. Sleep came like a thief with clean hands. I let it take what it wanted.
Overall rating: two stars
⭐️⭐️
Spicy pepper rating: two spicy peppers
