Reviews of How (Not) to Have a Perfect Wedding
“The skillful use of multiple narratives elevates this novel above the usual women’s wedding fiction…Ryan (The Kingsley House) uses distinctive viewpoints to great advantage, building tension and developing characters from the very first page, including everyone from the bridal party to the bartender, mansion staff, and caterer. She blends humor and poignancy with a light hand, taking a serious look at weddings and marriage, friendship and family, without taking it all too seriously. A worthy addition to the genre.”
- Amy Brozio-Andrews, Library Journal
