The Wedding Cake Wish Review
As a quick reminder, here is my rating structure:
- 1 star: Did not finish
- 2 Stars: Finished but I do not recommend
- 3 Stars: Liked but could use some improvements
- 4 Stars: Loved this book!
- 5 Stars: Rare. The unput-down-able, binge read obsession.
My star ratings are also based also genre based. I compare all books with books of the same genre. While I would love to believe that my love of books in general transcends all bias, there are genres I prefer over others.
I’m human.
Example: If I read a mystery novel and think it deserves a 5-star rating, then I have compared it to other mystery books, and determined it to be one of my absolute favorites. The unputdownable mystery.
This will hopefully keep me from comparing Outlander, a personal obsession of mine, with the experience of reading The Hate You Give. Both 5 star books for me, but completely and totally different. I couldn’t even try to rate them against each other, so I don’t. Makes my life easier. 🙂
My Thoughts
Let’s start with that cover. Oh my goodness! I want to go back and redo my wedding just to give it this whole vibe.
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed all of the characters in The Wedding Cake Wish. This is a full cast of wonderful people that round out this adorable book. Which brings me to my next point, this book is the 17th of the series. While I read it as a complete stand alone, I couldn’t help but feel like it would be even better if I had experienced all of the backstories. They are by all means not necessary, but to know this book could get even better…left me with regrets that I hadn’t heard of this series before.
The Wedding Cake Wish is a quick, addicting read, and I mean that literally. I now find myself needing to go back to the beginning and start with book 1. It’s a compulsion.
I didn’t know about the Little Duck Pond Cafe, but it’s quickly become a fixture in my life.
Conclusion
Easily finished in one sitting, The Wedding Cake Wish is a breath of fresh air brought in with the autumn breeze. Grab a hot cider and your comfy blanket.
