Four Weddings and a Festival

4,5 Stars // I was 16 years old when "Four Weddings and a Funeral" came out, and I was instantly in love with the movie (and also developed a crush on Hugh Grant). Same goes for Bea, Lizzie, Kat and Hannah. And when 3 of the friends incidentally plan their wedding for the same summer, it seems to be a great idea to have their own kind of "Four Weddings...", of course hopefully without the funeral bit. They only need a suitable groom for Bea, who just broke off her relationship with Simon. So the friends set her up with different dates for each wedding - but they didn't count on cute wedding photographer Leo from California. There are some other similarities with the Richard Curtis movie, but it's nevertheless a unique story with very likeable characters. It was fun to read about Bea's summer of festivities, dates and jewellery making, and encounter little reminders to "Four Weddings and a Funeral" throughout the book. It's been way too long since I last watched the movie!
