you netgalley for the arc,

The protagonist Lilly Weiss finds herself being her mother's worst nightmare, But that didn't concern Lily as much as finding herself in five different weddings and being the bridesmaid in every single of them.


This was one really quick read, The wedding bells were heavy in this book, Lliterally felt like reading something out of a movie, Hilarious indeed, with just the right amount of romance, There were lots of wedding surrounded dramas which were really entertaining, Of course in situation like this we find tons of bridesmaids and groomsmenyou can guess what may happenThe bridesmaids were really annoying seriously.
There were perpetuation of body shaming and single shaming, But Lily helped her friends and herself conquer it, I loved how she always have the snarky comebacks for internalized misogyny, This really felt like a movie night rom com, Lily Weiss is thirty two, single, and a professional bridesmaid at least that is what you become when you are a bridesmaid five times in six weeks right! She is selfless and kindhearted, but needs a place to vent there born the Bridesmania anonymous blog where Lily can openly talk about bridezillas, the high cost of being part of a wedding party, body shaming and lots of Spanx, and all the nuances of helping friends through their happily ever after.


The writing was refreshingly fun, snarky, funny, but with just the same amount of heart in an addictive and hilarious read.
Perfect summer reading and the perfect weekend read for me, read for free via Kindle Unlimited and audible audio

This was a fun story with plenty of "what the hell" moments.
A misunderstanding at the end is worthy of a facepalm and some laughter,

I probably would have been one of her blog's readers sheepish

I thought her growth after everything went down was well done and there were consequences for her actions, not everything being brushed over or swept under the rug.


Also glad Lily stood up for

herself, even if it took awhile,

Also that a certain side character finally got told off,

The romance for Lily was a nice compliment to the story and not overshadowing everything, which was nice.


I want to keep Lily's grandma, she's a hoot :





This story follows Lily from her own POV as she navigates being a bridesmaid in five different weddings that take place all within two months.
oh my gosh, can you even imagine!

Along the way, she makes and loses friends, but ultimately learns a lot.
While Lily does have some selfish tendencies, I found her to be pretty selfless to the point where it bothered me at times.
There were moments where she let people treat her badly or get away with stuff that I would never tolerate.
But she did it For the Love of Friends,

This was a really fun book, and I loved Lily as a narrator, The romantic plotline was not frontandcenter, but it was present enough to get me invested, For me personally, I would have enjoyed a little more on the romance side, Especially because I really liked her love interest, I think thats the only thing that could have enhanced my reading experience here,

If youre interested in reading abut a witty, thirtysomething professional that is still trying to figure life out, I highly recommend this one!

I want to thank the author Sara Goodman Confino for sending me a physical copy of this book for me to read and review! For The Love Of Friends is a dazzling, sincere, hilarious, romantic and nottobemissed debut.
I love how the Author has merged wedding drama in such a fascinating performance with topics that will blow your mind! My heart was gripped from the very first page, that scene was hilariously entertaining and I loved how the Author explains the details of a scene in a very insightful manner! A pageturner that everyone must read in these hot days, it is fast paced and I devoured this epic book within a day!
.

The main character of the book is Lily that finds herself in five different weddings and being the bridesmaid in five of them, the shocking twists that capture body shaming, rumours, bridal showing, friendship, and a special humour! The novel is addictive, engaging, compulsive with a heartwarming tone, not all of Lily's decisions are right but the Author has developed her character in the best way one could, it really is a perfect summer rom com that everyone would enjoy!
.

For The Love Of Friends is/and I loved all the heartbreaking and exquisitely crafted story, it has everything that is nuanced about being a person and Lily is a fascinating character that the Author has elaborated a story you won't forget! The blog aspect that the Author has created was so unique and I loved it so much, I could hear Lily's thoughts and that was super fun to read! All the chaos created within the chapters brings a very intriguing ending and I highly recommend you to read it if you want to spend an entertaining summer day with a magnificent friendship relationship! I got this eARC from Netgalley in exhange for a honest review
This was such an superb amazing read! I laughed so many times and basically read it in one sitting.
It was so funny, light had some touchy subjects and they were handled pretty good in this chicklit and i loved how the main character had such character development, sucked up and fixed her wrongdoings.
Plus the best man was such an awesome guy! The story development went along nicely, had a comfortable pace and let us get to know all the characters in a timely manner so it was easy to know who was who and not get confused.
So all in all, so good! This is such an entertaining read, There are many laughs to be had and found within the pages of this book, Lily and her blog, Bridesmania are the of this book, I think any woman who has been a bridesmaid can relate to the things that Lily wrote about, There are so many hilarious moments that I can not pick just a few, Almost every other page I was smiling and laughing,

Luckily, for me I have one sister and most of my friends and co workers are already married or younger than me have closer friends to ask the honor of bridesmaid.
My sister was not picky when it came to her bridesmaid, When it came time for me to get married my sister was living in another state and almost due to have her first child, so she could not travel.
My husband and I opted to have a small wedding and no bridesmaids or groomsmen,

Back to the book, If you are looking for a book to get lost in one afternoon, then you need to pick up a copy of this book.
You will be glad to be sitting on the sidelines,.stars

Too many bridesmaids gigs can drive a woman mad! At least that's what happens in For the Love of Friends, the debut novel from Sara Goodman Confino.


Lily isand single, much to her mothers horror, Shes always dreamed of being a writerso what if she has a boring job at a foundation

The thing about being single in your earlys is that everyone around youfamily, friends, etc.
is getting married. And while thats all well and good in theory, Lily suddenly finds herself as a bridesmaid for five weddings in six weeks.


Its a lot to handleher friends are turning into demanding monsters, shes constantly being shamed and criticized and judged, the expense of being a bridesmaid FIVE TIMES is killing her, her friends' friends are ridiculous and unrealistic, and she cant even figure out what she wants from her own love life.
So she does what anyone else would doshe creates an anonymous blog and vents online,

Of course, whats said anonymously online never stays that way, Can she mend fences, do whats expected of her, squeeze into those bridesmaids' dresses, and chart a course for her own happiness

I so enjoyed this!! For the Love of Friends has familiar elements it may sound a little like the movie Dresses, but Confino weaved them into a story all her own.
Its funny, emotional, sarcastic, insightful, and just downright fun, It was the change of pace I needed after some heavy books and some books that werent as good as Id hoped.

This was such a fun read, This is the first time I have read a book related to a bridesmaid who actually spoke the truth regarding Bridezilla's! Her blog made me laugh, it made me happy my friends are lowkey, and happy that I have never been inweddings all around the same time.
I found myself cringing with Caroline and missing my close friends with Megan, I loved that Lily had that single friend as well, to kind of ground her and ensure that she wasn't alone in the world.
Alex is a loveable, book boyfriend character too, This is an amazing, light and quick romance, Check it out!! Thanks to NetGalley for a arc copy for a honest review,

For The Love Of Friends was a fun read I love Lilly she was so much fun to read she has a busy life I give this book

Happy Reading

This was a super quick and funny romcom! I really enjoyed it and finished it in less thanhours so I highly recommend if youre looking for something light and funny and also easy to get into!
I liked our main protagonist Lily! She was hilarious but the one quality that made me absolutely love her was how unapologetically herself she was! In the kind of situations she was put in the book, her reactions were idealistic for me because I dont think Ill ever have enough courage like her.


The romance was supremely adorable! It was more of a friends to lovers romance and I loved how Alex was always here for Lily whenever she needed him! He was also so sweet, nice and charming so there really was nothing to not like.
Their little coffee note exchange was sooo cute!!

We saw some real bridezilla action and some of the things bridesmaids have been asked to do were so atrocious that I was laughing at the impossibility of it all!
There were also some discussions about youre asked to loose weight for weddings, change how you look, etc which is SO not okay and I appreciated how Lily took a stand for herself when it came to that!

Because of the setting, there were so many characters in this book! I really liked how it still wasnt confusing and everybody seemed fleshed out and real.
Also, kudos to the author for managing Lilys time between all her friends and family AND having an adorable romance on the side.
I cant imagine the amount of time it mustve taken,

There was so much drama and chaos so if you like that kind of setting in books I DO then I would definitely recommend this one! And also to all my fellow comedy lovers because it was less romantic and more comedic but super fun! Finding out about this novel was a case of book besherte.
A friend from my neighborhood heard about it from a group of Jewish moms in our county on Facebook.
I didn't even know the group existed, but then joined it right away, She told me about it and I reached out to the author's publicist, who then sent me a copy and connected me with the author for an interview.
When I finally got around to reading it, I was more than impressed by this fantastic debut romcom,

I have over a decade on Lily and have only been a bridesmaid once, but she was so relatable that I couldn't help but root for her, even when the people in her life thought she was being awful.
She and I both have a sibling who lives in Chicago while we live in the DC area and I love that the story takes place here.
We're both firstborn children and Jewish, Also, we both worked at a job foryears even though it wasn't what we were meant to be doing, careerwise.
I loved Lily's snark and sense of humor, The dialogue and banter was spoton the entire time, I also found myself messaging the author anytime one of the wicked bridesmaids made me really angry, I had fun learning about the reason why these characters were created to act that way,

This was such a great story that I can't stop recommending! I told my sister that she needs to read it because she's the one who stood up in a lot of weddings.
I already can't wait to read sitelinkSara Goodman Confino's next book,
