About this listen

You are cordially invited to the wedding of the year....

Sophie Breeze is a brilliant bridesmaid. So brilliant, in fact, that she's made it her full-time job.

As a professional bridesmaid, Sophie is hired by brides to be their right-hand woman, posing as a friend but working behind the scenes to ensure their big day goes off without a hitch. From wrangling rowdy hen dos to navigating last minute portaloo cancellations and family dramas, there's no problem she can't solve.

So when she's hired by an actual marchioness to help plan the society wedding of the year, it should be a chance for Sophie to prove just how talented she is.

Of course, it's not ideal that the bride, Cordelia Swann, is an absolute diva and determined to make Sophie's life a nightmare. It's also a bit inconvenient that Sophie finds herself drawn to Cordelia's posh older brother, who is absolutely off limits. And when a rival society wedding is announced, things start to get rather complicated....

Can Sophie pull off the biggest challenge of her career, win over a reluctant bride and catch the eye of handsome Lord Swann - all while keeping her true identity a secret, and her dignity intact?

Heartwarming and hilarious, The Secret Bridesmaid celebrates the joys (and foibles) of weddings, the nuances of female friendship and the redeeming power of love in its many, unexpected forms.

Loved it!!

I loved the fact that I didn't know where this one was going. The main character has an unusual job as a professional bridesmaid (not one I've encountered before), and although the people she's working with are very wealthy - which would normally put me off - they come across as quite charming. I'm not normally keen on the "comic" bits but they work pretty well here. And throughout the book the author's used little details that just make it feel real. All in all a story that gets to the ending you expect but absolutely not how you think it's going to. Great narration too, and I particularly liked the voice for Cordelia which really helped bring her to life.

Unpredictable and fun

Loved it but has some of the usual tropes involved in Romcoms However this was more about friendship and I found that quite refreshing.

The narrator did an amazing job and really sold the characters and story.

All in all, an enjoyable lighthearted sometimes funny book and worthwhile in my opinion. However I am biased as I prefer the light novels over those that are too in depth and serious.
