The secret Bridesmaid – Katy Birchall The secret bridesmaid is a romcom in a book. You should know about me that I love romcoms, weddings and I’m also a “goody-goody” like Sophie so that was the perfect book for me. On top of that it’s a high society story and set in London. What is there not to like? The writing style of Kate Birchall is very easy to read and SO English, which I love. Sophie is for me a very relatable character. She is an optimist, she obviously loves weddings but she is also very organised and well yes, she’s a “goody-goody”. Cordelia seems to be a rich girl cliché. She looks perfect, has a perfect fiancé, a perfect life and is very mean if she does not get what she wants. But that’s all it is. A farce. But as she begins to open up to Sophie you get why she is the way she is and a beautiful friendship blossoms between them. The side characters are very likeable. There is, for me at least enough depth to them, even though it’s a fairly thin book. What I liked most is that Sophie’s romance with Cordelia’s brother Tom is more a side plot than anything else, so it is much more a book about the friendship between Cordelia and Sophie. One point of critique is there: Sometimes at the very end of a chapter, there would be an interaction between Sophie and a company where she bought something for a bride. The emails gave us an inside look into her life as a professional bridesmaid, but they did not add anything to the storyline, which is a little confusing. Adding to that: there were sometimes changes of scenery without a paragraph in between which forced me to read some sentences twice to understand they were in another place. With that said, the book is published on May 4th , so I’m hoping the publishing company will change that in the final version.
