    Summary:

    Katy Birchall's The Wedding Season is Four Weddings and a Funeral meets The Wedding Party: when a recently jilted bride is forced to attend seven weddings in one summer, her friends devise a series of hilarious challenges as distraction.Smart and ambitious, Freya Scott prides herself on always having it together: she has a top job as a Brand Manager for Suttworth, a multi-national drinks company, and she's engaged to her long-term boyfriend, Matthew. Their wedding is the first of eight in her calendar this year, and she's intent on making it the fete that everyone is talking about all summer long.But when Matthew calls it off the day before their walk down the aisle, Freya's entire life plan goes up in smoke. Humiliated and heartbroken, she is determined to appear in control and fine. Surely, Matthew will soon realize that he's made a huge mistake, and their wedding will simply be "postponed" instead of canceled.In the meantime, Freya still has a summer of other people's nuptials ahead of her--which she must now attend solo. To help her survive the wedding season, her best friends concoct a series of challenging, outrageous tasks that she must complete at each event, designed to distract her from Matthew and what might have been. From getting stuck in an old church bathroom and needing to be rescued by the vicar to making out with a barman at a French chateau, Freya realizes that despite herself, she might just be having fun. And by the time the final wedding arrives, she will discover that the road to a happy ending sometimes has unexpected detours, that "I do" is only the beginning--and that perhaps her own love story isn't over just yet.
