And I am back again with friends and this time there is a wedding we have been invited to! Exciting times! While we have the bells ready to sing out, we get to see this novella not from only Ellie’s point of view but Jaz and Fen! Yes, the original Bellas are back! I am so glad I read the first book before I started this one because it had so many little comments about it that just made me smile when I read them.

Running up to the wedding we see how Ellie, Jaz and Fen are coping and what has been happening in their lives. Ellie and her excitement for her wedding but she has suspicions to what Zak is up to. Jaz and her diagnosis with her endometriosis and her newfound struggles in life. Fen, all loved up but then something happens and it upsets her bubble. That is all I will say on the matter, but these are three women that have a special place in my heart. I have seen them from the very beginning where they all, in their own way, start with nothing and now their lives are flourishing and they have all come out of their shells. The friendship these girls have is one that definitely makes you smile and I can think of a couple of girls I know that I share the same friendship with.

We do still see the newer additions in this novella, the extended family, and even though their voice is not directly heard it is through the three girls. We see their storylines progressing and make for exciting reading in the future. I am looking forward to seeing a book from Madison’s point of view and from Primrose’s again!

Each and every one of these novellas have made me smile and enjoy the true love story, even if it doesn’t always run easy. Yes, there were a few times where you are led to suspect a few things but I was egging the girls on not to think the worse. I did blitz through this in one sitting because I just needed to know how it would end. I now want the next one, like now. I mean when it has Lemon Drizzle in a title I am there as it is like my favourite cake ever!! Seriously look no further if you want to read about happy ever after in a cafe by a Little Duck Pond, which is a character in its own right.
