I really enjoyed this fun novel about all things weddings and bridesmaids. The main character, Zoey Marks, has built up a repertoire of bad luck. For every wedding that Zoey has been a bridesmaid, the bride has in some way or another not made it down the aisle. Zoey has convinced herself that she is the bad luck and resolves that maybe love just isn’t on her side. But when Zoey receives word that her best friend is getting married and wants Zoey to be her bridesmaid, Zoey is hesitant. 
 
While I don’t possess Zoey’s perspective on life or her decision to give up on love, I still liked Badluck Bridesmaid for its quick pacing and realistic ending. I also appreciated the fact that Zoey isn’t quick to hide her flaws and that the author doesn’t attempt to wrap Zoey’s story up in a cute little bow at the end. If you’re looking for something fun and quick, I recommend this one!
