---FULL REVIEW ON MY WEBSITE: BookishAfrolatina.com---
As you may have guessed, this book is in the same universe as The Worst Best Man. Solange, Lina's cousin, is helping out with a wedding when she overhears the bride and a groomsman having a lover's spat. Solange figures she should keep it to herself until she meets the groom, Dean, and feels bad for him. Of course, she doesn't decide to speak up until the middle of the ceremony.
What Solange doesn't know is that Dean and his bride-to-be are simply marrying to further their own careers. So when she crashes his wedding, the grand plan goes sideways...
❤️Review: A magnetic, steamy, and entertaining read! I enjoyed The Worst Best Man but I devoured The Wedding Crasher. Solange and Dean are a hilarious and lovable duo. I loved their backstories and the way they each had to learn that their perceived strengths were also their actual weaknesses. This book seemed a lot kinkier than The Worst Best Man.
I also noticed more Portuguese and food in this book, which I really appreciated because I feel like the Tia's store helped ground the story and connect Solange with her roots. Food and family dynamics are such a great way to connect with characters and learn about other people's lives. I hope that Brazilians and Brazilian-Americans can see themselves in this book and those who are not a part of those groups feel inspired to learn more about their culture. I'm also so happy that the Tias got the attention they deserved! I hope they get their own stories because I feel like Sosa really lets us get a peek into their personalities, experiences, and interests in this book.
I recommend The Wedding Crasher to anyone who enjoys a good amount of spice with hilarious scenarios and banter.
