This had a "27 Dresses" vibe which I enjoyed! It was short but sweet and I enjoyed the bridal career aspect.
There were parts that made me slightly wince (including Sloane talking about wanting to do real journalism, rather than writing for a bridal magazine), but overall it was a light read.

Jilted surprised me at first! I really enjoyed the premise and the execution of the characters, and surprisingly, the mmc Wilder had a little something about him that made him worthy of being the love interest. His push and pull with Sloane made for such a quick read. Their chemistry really made the book. For the first 20% or so of the book, I was really looking forward for the direction the book was headed in, but then it sort of becomes all dismantled, and I ended up not as enjoying it as much as I was at the beginning.

Essentially, Sloane and Wilder are pulled together at this wedding. She soon learns that Wilder is actually the son of her boss, and that she'll be working on this task (she works for a Bridal Magazine) which'll involve her seeing Wilder more often at all these weddings she'll be attending. This plot line is soon sort of forgotten about. I would've loved if it was the main part of the plot. I feel like it would've made the push and pull all the better and would've developed the story better. This part felt very chick-lit, which I loved. But it's soon done away with Wilder and Sloane almost changing characters slightly. It had to go more "serious". When the plot disregarded the wedding story lines for more of a junkyard sale of Top 10 most popular plot tropes, I became bored and it did lose my interest midway. Luckily, it was a short book, so my reading experience wasn't totally hampered by the second half.

Wilder also becomes a little too lost behind the tropes. Everything under the sun was thrown at him and it sort of blinded the cheeky side of him. He has flashbacks which I felt lacked purpose for the plot. He had so much going on, in a messy way. I feel like his Rugby side just added unnecessary points, because it never really does anything for the plot.

I did like the younger characters in the book; Wilder's brother and Sloane's niece. They were fun to read about. The side characters for the most part were fine, but then the evil Other Woman trope skidded in. In fact, I think most of the women outside of Sloane's family were demoted to Other Woman status. It just made it a bit of a tiring read. Sloane and Wilder never really go through a journey or any development, because they were already perfect. It's the other characters who were one note evil.

Overall, I did wish the plot didn't twist into such a simple route. I really enjoyed the first part and would've preferred it if Wilder and Sloane were thrown about into circumstances throughout the book. But I don't regret reading it!

This was such a great read! Reminded me a bit of 27 Dresses! I always enjoy books set in the wedding planning world and this was so fun! It had a good enemies to lovers vibe and the writing was enjoyable as well! I really enjoyed this one!
