This was a great summer holiday read from Sarah Morgan. When Adeline and Cassie are invited to their mother's fourth wedding on the island of Corfu, they both have very different feelings about Catherine's forthcoming nuptuals.

This story covers the relationships between a mother and her daughters, and how your childhood experiences can shape a lifetime.

It was a light, easy read, and although I guessed the twist early on in the story I enjoyed this beach read. The descriptions of Corfu made me want to be there!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

(3.5)

These characters are so incredibly unlikeable for the first 50-60% of the book due to the miscommunication trope. Don’t get me wrong I felt the ending was obvious as we navigated through the pile of lies the family had been feeding to one another but some little semblance of upfront honesty may have put this up to a 4/4.5 star for me.

That being said the move to something different to the generic contemporary genre with the twist of a thriller in the death of Rob was really intriguing.

This was a lovely little read, full of sun and family drama. I did however find myself skim reading it and just wanting to get to the end to find out how it finishes.

It was interesting to see how difficult the writing/author world can be and understand some of the obstacles that can arise.

I just think I prefer when the settings are wintry and snuggly, as love/family stories just seem to flow better for me, possibly cause it's my favourite time of year, who knows.

A brilliant read and one I really enjoyed. The characters are loveable and varied, the plot is one that is engaging and medium paced. I found myself completely drawn into the story and enjoyed the writing style.

This one took me a little while to get through but I’m glad I persevered. It’s not the authors usual happy go lucky read & had some strong themes of friendship, family, domestic abuse & a side of romance.
I found it to be a slow burn & the pacing was a little off but it still made me smile.

Well known for her feel-good romances, Sarah Morgan did not disappoint. For this novel she gave love a twist and created a story where things are not what they seem. Mainly set on the island of Corfu the reader is given a sense of sun, sea and good food. Each chapter focused on each main character which I enjoy when reading a book.
Adeline and Cassie are daughters of the famous romance novelist Catherine Swift. Each of the daughters share attributes of their mum but whereas Cassie is outgoing and views life somewhat through rose tinted glasses, Adeline is cautious and guarded because of the rejection she felt as a child. Catherine is getting married for the fourth time, but things are not what they seem. A family secret threatens to destroy already delicate relationships along with a surprise that Cassie has. The reader sees that each of the ladies suffer from insecurities that they need to face if they are ever to have a stable relationship. As a reader I could relate in some ways to the feelings of the characters. I feel that we attach our own meanings to situations, when that may not be the meaning at all.
Will the family be able to process the new revelations, and will this finally be Catherine’s happy ever after?
I enjoyed this read although it felt slightly too long. There seemed to be more of a focus on the characters relationships than is usually in her books which I liked.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Sarah Morgan for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

this was an easy to read but very predictable novel. in the mode of a typical Mills & Boon. Nothing appears to be going to plan for Adeline's latest wedding, her devoted younger daughter is all for the wedding despite not knowing the name of the groom. The elder daughter has more hurdles to climb before agreeing to attend but there are surprises in store for them all.

A great summer escapist read!

Three main characters Catherine Swift, famous romance novelist and mother to estranged sisters Adeline, strait laced workaholic and Cassie who is enthusiastic and carefree, total opposites.

Both invited to their hopeless romantic mothers, fourth, wedding in sunny Corfu, not knowing who the groom is!

Fabulous setting, sandy beaches, villas with mysteries and secrets to be solved.
Will their fractured family find their way back together?

A beautiful, symbolic family saga.

Catherine is a successful romance novelist living in the beautiful Corfu about to celebrate her fourth wedding. She’s hoping the happy event will bring the family closer together her two daughters have their own ideas.

This was an enjoyable and easy summer romance, with some well written and complex characters, I found it pretty predictable but would make an ideal poolside read

This is just what I needed a light summer read perfect for holidays. The family dynamics taut beyond belief seem as if this family will never solve their relationship. As secrets unfold family relationships develop and characters review their own lives seeing situations in different ways. You find yourself routing for them willing them to make peace with each other and the past. Highly recommended.

Apologies for the delay in this review, i have been battling ill health.

Great story, lovely setting, enjoyed the charcters and the story very much. I thought it flowed really well and it was a really good read.

Sarah skillfully intertwines past and present.

Compelling and emotive, heart-wrenching, poignant and romantic.

Th perfect combining of lighter and a darker storyline.

A beautiful setting with crystal clear blue waters, a stunning Villa and lovely gardens of colour.

Thank you to Kirsty at Mills & Boon for the ARC and pre-approval, HarperCollins Publishers, Netgalley.

An enjoyable light read with a bit more substance than I expected, which is a positive thing.

The book is well written, with believable characters. I liked the way that the characters became their "real" selves as the book progressed. I found the interactions and reconcilations between some of the characters very uplifting - it reminded me that everyone sees events and people differently, and that it's very easy to get the wrong end of the stick and assume that it's the truth.

This would make a great holiday or journey read.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC. All opinions my own.

A lovely summer beach read. The descriptions of Corfu were so well written and the characters were great. Recommended.

A lovely holiday beach read. Sarah Morgan books are always so enjoyable and this one does not dissapoint.

Love this author. She never disappoints. This book was even better as it was based in my favourite place the Greek island of Corfu, it was so easy to read. Very well written. Flowed very well. Lots of twists and turns and to keep the book interesting. Perfect summer book to read

Summer Wedding by Sarah Morgan is a fun summer read - family dynamics, lots of drama and a happy ending! Catherine Swift is a bestselling romance author, but her personal life hasn't been so successful. Marrying for a fourth time, Catherine invites her daughters to her villa in Corfu and although what follows is fairly predictable its a wonderful family drama which I couldn't put down. Pure escapism!
With thanks to NetGalley and the published for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Life experiences have given Adeline and Cassie totally different outlooks on life.

Adeline has shut down her emotions and likes to live by a formula. A clinical psychologist, she prefers her career writing a column than face-to-face patients as it gives distance from those she helps. Close to Cassie when she was a baby, her move from the family home to live with her dad as a child created a chasm.

Cassie is excited by life and is full of energy. She’s in love with love. A degree in Classics, she’s working as a barista in the Tasty Bite Café while she figures out what she wants to do. She’s inspired by Adeline.

Catherine has her own insecurities that started in childhood. Her experiences motivate her to focus on what makes people feel good and for her that’s writing happy ever after stories.

Corfu is the perfect place to work through a tangle of familial feelings and loosen up.

I love Sarah Morgan’s characters in EVERY story. I’m always invested in what happens and feel what they do. And wow, so many feels from these three! so very relatable. I don’t know how it’s possible to make your characters unique in every story you write (without repeating yourself!) but Sarah Morgan nails it every time.

Even though children have different perceptions of their family life when growing up, there was something nagging at me that I couldn’t ignore. The little nuggets (that hinted at truths) got me thinking all sorts … and wondering what the impact would be on one character in particular when the truth was revealed.

Summer Wedding is one of those stories that you don’t realise just how much you need until you’ve read it. It had such a positive impact on how I was feeling (and stayed with me). Priceless.

Loved the characters, the setting, the relationships, the self-discovery and the romance. Perfection.

A lovely summer read. Supremely romantic, a bit obvious, but no worse for that.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing this book for review.

You can never go wrong with a Sarah Morgan book! They are always so well written, flow really well and an interesting story. Yes, they traditionally have a happy ending but there is nothing wrong with that! Everyone loves a bit of feel-good and you always get that with a Sarah Morgan book!
This one was no exception, set on Corfu and all about an author and her family. However, not everything in the wonderful sounding garden is rosy, where everyone has their own secrets and issues. However, as the story progresses, through various events that occur, the past is gradually revealed and everything starts to become clearer. Some lovely happy endings - just how I was hoping the story was going to finish.

Thank you to Net Galley & the publishers for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review, which is what I have given.
