Fathers of the Bride by Marshall Thornton
4.0
(4.5*) Finally, I can make a relevant comp! I think if you liked Boyfriend Material, you'll love Fathers of the Bride. After two decades together, Andrew and Miles are going through a bitter divorce, but when the daughter they both adore announces she's getting married, could planning her wedding be the thing that pulls them back together?
I loved all the main cast of Fathers of the Bride, especially the MCs' adopted daughter, Kelly. She was such a breath of fresh air and such a genuinely kind, funny, down to earth character, who seemed to ground anxious Miles and workaholic Andy. I loved how, no matter what they said, it was obvious all along how Miles and Andy felt about one another, yet it made sense that they kept getting in the way of their own HEA without it becoming annoying. I also loved their love for Kelly. Such father material! Sometimes I felt the story was a little bloated, which slowed the pacing, and for my personal preferences I would have liked a bit more of an emotional finale, but it all came together in a lovely way in the end. If you enjoy the humour in Boyfriend Material and Husband Material, this is definitely a book you should check out next.
