The Wedding Ringer

De: Kerry Rea

Narrado por: Emily Lawrence

A woman who wants nothing to do with love or friendship finds both in the unlikeliest ways in this hilarious and heartwarming debut by Kerry Rea.

Once upon a time, Willa Callister was a successful blogger with a good credit score, actual hobbies, and legs that she shaved more than once a month. But after finding her fiancé in bed with her best friend, she now spends her days performing at children's birthday parties in a ball gown that makes her look like a walking bottle of Pepto Bismol. Willa dreams of starting fresh, where no one knows who she used to be, but first she needs to save up enough money to make it happen.

Maisie Mitchell needs something too: another bridesmaid for her wedding. After a chance encounter at a coffee shop, Maisie offers to pay Willa to be in her bridal party. Willa wants nothing to do with weddings—or Maisie—but the money will give her the freedom to start the new life she so badly desires.

Willa's bridesmaid duties thrust her into Maisie's high-energy world and into the path of hotshot doctor Liam Rafferty. But as Willa and Maisie form a real friendship, and Liam's annoyingly irresistible smile makes her reconsider her mantra that all men are trash, Willa's exit strategy becomes way more complicated. And when a secret from Maisie's past threatens to derail the wedding, Willa must consider whether friendship—and romance—are worth sticking around for.

A lovely light read

This fun book was a very refreshing, relaxing novel that took my mind off my worries and help me to relax and enjoy the day!

Great book!

I loved it. I loved how it was about friendship and love which is different from other books. She did a great job. I finished it in a few days. Great work.

Interesting and Awesome Book

I thought the book was great and the reader was funny and interesting. I enjoyed it tremendously and it made me feel happy. Sometimes you need a book like this just for fun 😊

worth the read

this was an amazing tale of how brokenness can be worked through by those you choose to surround yourself with.

One of those stories that helps the main character

I love a romance that isn't just a romance but also has some character development as well. I think this is a beautiful story about how you can mourn not just a romantic relationship but also a platonic one as well. The way the story is told is such a great story about how someone can get their heart broken and realistically come back from it.
The performance is great and I always love when the narrators do different voices for different people, really makes the story a story.

Not what I expected

The book description made me think this was a rom con, so I was initially disappointed/thrown off when I was 3 hours and 9 chapters in without even meeting the love interest. Once I accepted that this is a book about friendship and personal growth, I got over my frustration and enjoyed the story and narration a lot. For what it is, it’s really well done. If you’re looking for a romance book, you’ll be disappointed (the love interest is likable, but it’s barely even a side story). I really enjoyed it once I got into the friendship story and stopped waiting for it to become a rom com.

not your mother's rom-com (in the very best way)

narration is excellent, especially the dialogue
hard not to fall in love with the characters

Loved it!

The story was great and kept me wanting more. It was one of those books I didn’t want to end. Loved the characters and the friendship that bloomed between two strangers in a coffee shop. Highly recommend. This is a book I would listen to again.

Don’t waste your time

This story had great potential, but fell really short. Narration was ok, but not great.

Slut fest

This was an erotic book in a rom-com cover. Sex in the 1st chapter.
