The line "Bridesmaids meets Black Mirror" hooked me in, and I wasn't disappointed. It's a story of female friendships and the pressure that society pushes on people - expectations to get married, have children, climb the ladder. It's a little too believable in places - the extremes a bride might go to in order to achieve the perfect wedding. I really enjoyed the concept and writing style, with looks into the past to ground the characters, before progressing through the eventful wedding weekend.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
