Publisher's summary

The brilliant new summer best seller from Lindsey Kelk, author of the I Heart series.

Everyone loves a bridesmaid. Except Maddie, who's perpetually asked to be one.

Everyone loves a wedding. Except Maddie's best friend, who's getting divorced.

And everyone loves the way Maddie's so happy backstage. Except Maddie herself.

One best friend is in wedding countdown while the other heads for marriage meltdown. And as Maddie juggles her best chance at promotion in years with bridezilla texts and late-night counselling sessions, she starts to wonder - is it time to stop being the bridesmaid?

Praise for What A Girl Wants:

“Should Tess stick it out with longtime crush Charlie, or accept a YOLO job in Milan that comes with the possibility of running into gorgeous Nick? This sounds like the sort of #FirstWorldProblem we want in on!” (Now)

surprisingly good!

Don't let the title fool you, this is a fantasticly charming book, and you will fall in love with the mail character. The narrator is amazing. i laughed out loud several times.

A more friend focused Bridget Jones:)

This was such a fun book to kick off the summer! Great characters and witty storyline, mixed with a touch of romance. Laughed out loud several times! Great story about longstanding friendships amongst women.

So cute!

Absolutely loved this book! Super fun and quick read, great characters! Definitely recommend to anyone who loves a good romantic comedy or just to feel good

Pretty good read!

This is the first book I’ve read by Lindsay Kelk. I love Sophie Kinsella/ Madeline Wickham and this was said to be similar. It was in that it was from a British author but the story was just OK and quite drawn out. The narration was a little rough but once I became familiar with her voice it was fine. I’m still looking for another great author but this one was fine for a long car ride.

Hilarious!

Would you listen to Always the Bridesmaid again? Why?

Any additional comments?

The writing in this book is witty and...hilarious! The narrator is fantastic! (Honestly, much funnier than my own imagination if I had read, rather than listened to, this book.)

The plot didn't sound that great when I was browsing books, but the reviews were so good, I decided to try it. Glad I did! It explores a great mix of career challenges, soul searching, friendship, and of course romance. All punctuated with sarcasm and wit.

This was my first Lindsey Kelk book, and I am hooked. I'm now listening to the "I Heart" books, and they are also great, but none as good as this one.

I hope more of the print books are made available on Audible.

Brilliant

This book was hilarious, and read so perfectly, I was sad when it ended. British chick lit at its best. More please!!

Amazing, funny, entertaining, just great!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I'd totally recommend this audiobook. I used to not like audiobooks but now I just can't get enough. The story is really funny, I could totally picture what the narrator was talking about and also I LOVED the narrator's voice. You should know that for me, the narrator has a huge importance in choosing an audiobook and in this one Lotti Maddox does a great job.

What about Lotti Maddox’s performance did you like?

Her voice and accent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but I kept listening to it in small doses at work.

Loved this book!

Loved this book! Likeable characters, good story and really well narrated. Was also very funny at times.

Took a bit!

This beginning was slow but once it picked up it was really funny. I will be listening to more from this author.

Fabulous!

Keeps you on your toes and very entertaining! I would recommend this book to everyone!
