Dragged to the Wedding by Andrew Grey
3.75
Dragged to the Wedding has a premise that had me so excited, it sounded like a lot of fun! and it was!
It did take me a bit to get into the book. In just the first chapter there was an instance of fat-phobia which had me cautious, but luckily that was from a side-character and wasn't a theme that continues in the book, (the opposite, actually!). That instance had me in a critical mood, and I also noticed some continuity inconsistencies.
Once I really got into the story though, I was enjoying myself a lot! Loved the main characters, and the sisters were great to get to know as well :D I've always loved fake dating, and this was a lovely done version of it, with the drag being a nice twist to it!
I liked how this book dealt with a police officer main character, having the view of Daniel to open James' eyes was really welcome. (mildespecially after his 'you can trust me, I'm a police officer' remark. Not quite the good argument James probably thought it was. ) But yes, the author dealt with that really well, as well as the whole issues around churches, as far as I can judge that.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Carina Press for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
