Summary from Goodreads
"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 behind the scenes - 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?"
This is my first time reading Lindsay Kelk's book. I already knew she has I Heart... Series but there are so many books that queue in TBR piles and I confuse which one should I read next. When I knew Lindsay Kelk released her second standalone I was so excited and pre-ordered it immediately. Her first standalone is The Single Girl To-Do Lists back in 2011 which is I haven't read it yet, but I will. Soon. I loved Lindsay's writing style and also she has such a sense of humor. I giggled many times while reading this book. The book is written through a journal, like a diary which I enjoyed so much.
Always The Bridesmaid is the story about Maddie Fraser who works as an assistant event planner who treated like a slave by her boss because she has been doing most of the planning behalf her boss. And then she is asked to help planning her bestfriend Lauren wedding (for FREE!), while supporting her other bestfriend Sarah through divorce. Then, Maddie got an opportunity for a promotion comes up at work, and she is forced into applying. The condition is she must organize an event and does everything she can to prove she decent to get the job. On the other hand, she must help and please her bestfriends at the same time.
At first I found this book kinda boring. When I was half finished, I was so into it. I liked all of the character, Maddie is smart, realistic, down to earth, and careless yet funny. I laughed at her ridiculous slapstick moments. I got frustated by her friend, though. Lauren, I found her selfish and spoiled. Sarah, is cynical and sarcastic. But we all have friends like that, right?
Of course, there is a romance in this book. The male character weaved so wonderfully throughout the story. I enjoyed the gentlemanly Tom and the scumbag Will rivalry. Well, her love story makes me believe that our true love might just be right around the corner, or right under our nose. Everything will fall into places.
So, if you like kind of genre like this or you like Lindsay Kelk, you'd better grab this book.
