For the Love of Friends by Sara Goodman Confino
3.75
funny slow-paced
Loveable characters: No

I enjoyed this book but the narration made it better. 
I strongly disliked all the characters except Alex. He was definitely my favorite, he was so sweet, I loved every scene he was in. The flirting, notes on the coffee sleeves, he made me like Lily for a bit. 
Lily on her own I struggled with, she was very self centered, and while she claimed liked all her friends I dont understand how they were all friends. It really seemed like forced friendships.
 An issue I had was no one wanted to stand up to their mother or any mother to tell them to shut the hell up. It was implied that mothers deserve a certain level of respect but the mothers in this book were rude, mean and went out of their way to berate their children and anyone who disagreed, and someone really needed to check them. I hated every scene where a mother was present. Now lily's grandma on the other hand, a freaking riot! 
I waited the whole book for everything to hit the fan because of the blog and omg it didn't disappoint. Lily didn't get punished as severely as she should've but the brides were in the wrong quite often as well. At the final wedding (Megans) we get to hear a bit of what happened at the engagement party in the beginning, we hear from someone else about Lily blacking out and learn the whole truth. The best surprise, honestly.
