Publisher's summary

A jinx: a person or thing that brings bad luck.

I'm Mila Banks, the ultimate jinx. Not just in theory—I've got a track record. Seven weddings, seven disasters. Everything from a groom with a concussion to an attack of red ants (a long story) has happened because of me. So, when my bestie, Nadia, insists on making me her maid of honor, I can't help but try to find a way out of it. To make matters more complicated, my boss, Grayson Manning, is going to be the best man. Did I mention I'm head over heels for him? Well, sort of. You see, I have a knack for falling for my bosses, so it's all a tad confusing. The bottom line? My life is a bit of a disaster right now.

Here's to hoping I don't turn Nadia's big day into another catastrophe, and that, for once, I won't hand my heart to the wrong guy. My bad luck has to run out eventually, right? I guess we're going to find out. All I wish for is that, in the end, my best friend gets the dream wedding she deserves, and maybe, just maybe, I'll snag the man I truly deserve too.

The Wedding Jinx is a boss romance filled with laughs, tears, and the unforgettable chaos of weddings. Expect sizzling chemistry but low on spice.

Bye, Fake Dave!

There is nothing better than when two people who have pined for each other figure out their feelings are mutual… in a rain forest. 🥰 This was the perfect sweet, funny, and swoony road-trip listen with the perfect voices for the narration. Becky Monson for the win every time!❤️

My favorite Becky Monson book

This is now my favorite Becky Monson book!!! Once I started it I didn't want to stop reading!! I laughed so much; this book is one of the funniest rom-com's I've read and would make a great movie!

I immediately loved Mila and found her very relatable, especially the relationship she has with her work bestie Nadia. Thanks to them I'll never look at a thumbs up emoji the same way again (IYKYK). Mila and Nadia are always there for each other but with 7 wedding disasters behind her, Mila doesn't want Nadia's upcoming wedding to become disaster #8, so she tells her she won't be her maid of honor, but Nadia's not having any of that nonsense.

Grayson is very interested in Mila but is hyper-focused on the rollout of his company's latest app. He's under a lot of stress to make it go well so he can repay his investors. Grayson and Mila going to Hawaii early to test out the app is THE BEST! Because of that trip we get: lost luggage, forced proximity, snorkeling and the one-piece bathing suit, getting lost while hiking and them finally giving in to their mutual attraction! Those kisses!!

I love dual POV and Becky Monson did an amazing job giving us Grayson's viewpoint. I really appreciated the lack of angst in this book--no drama or third act breakup to fret over. Sometimes I just want love and laughter and that's exactly what this book delivers. I don't know which part was my favorite--Mila and Grayson getting together or the stories about the 7 weddings!!! Get your tissues ready because you're going to have tears of laughter when you read this book.

I love when authors have dual narrators and thought both of them did a fantastic job getting the tone and emotions in the book across.

Content: a few mild Bible swears and kissing.

An Absolute Must Listen!!! It Is Pure Perfection!!

Warning!!!! Major Gushing Ahead!!!

Oh! My! Heavens!!! Can I just tell you how much I absolutely LOVE this book?!!!!!! Serious book hangover for this one! And it's definitely in my top 5 favorite Rom-Coms that I've ever read!!!! This is big people! I was reading an advanced copy and there were some things happening in life that I needed something lighthearted and this more than delivered. I was giggling! I was beyond giggling!!! I seriously couldn't stop. I was messaging my two book besties and telling them that they HAD to read the book. And not only is the humor fantastic, but the romance and sweet love story...Happy Sigh!!! All the Heart Eyes for this deliciously perfect story! And then I had to listen to the audiobook, of course! And it was so delightful! I was so happy to jump back into Mila and Grayson's world! Holly Warren and Patrick Boylan brought Mila and Grayson to life even more!!!

I love some good drama and angst in books but sometimes it's just plain ol' good refreshing when you have a book where the characters are just good and there isn't all the drama and big break ups and blow ups! Mila and Grayson are just too adorable and I loved their story from beginning to end. I loved the friendship, or rather work relationship and the working hard to keep boundaries but the whole time they were attracted to and interested in each other. And oh good heavens when they start to really interact... The chemistry becomes explosive! (Don't worry, it's clean, and Grayson is such a gentleman!)

This is Becky Monson's first book having dual POV of both of the main characters and can I just say that she totally NAILED IT!!! It added so much to the story and to the humor and swoonyness by having Grayson's thoughts and POV. It was pure perfection! *Happy Sigh*

Mila and her best friend from work, Nadia, are so much fun! They started off all of my giggles. And can I just say that I would totally love being friends with both of them. They're just the best! Thumbs up and nicknames and so much more! They're seriously just so much fun!!!

And you're going to just die over the weddings! 7 weddings! Poor Mila! But they add so much more fun to this story! I might have had my mouth drop open for a couple of them or covered my mouth but I definitely let out lots of laughs over them!

I loved it all!!! The app, the plane ride, the hotel room, the waterfall, the sunburn, the red dress, the dance, that first kiss, the luau, the swimming suit, the snorkeling, Fake Dave and his picture and sooo much more!

Grab a copy and dive in! You'll be gushing, laughing and just absolutely in love with Mila and Grayson!!!

Content: Clean. There are some mild swearwords a handful of times throughout the book. There are some kisses but they are written very tastefully. The characters have to share a hotel room due to a glitch but nothing happens and the bed is divided with pillows.

Happy Listening!!!

AMAZING

This is one of my favorites reads this year! The narrators really brought this story to life. Highly recommend!
