Critics Review
‘The Wedding Forecast is the definition of feel-good fiction. A romantic delight from cover to cover.’ * Rachael Johns *
‘A fresh voice, and a charming story.’ * Kylie Scott, NYT Bestselling Author *
‘Lusciously romantic, big-hearted and life-affirming, with all the laughs, chemistry and sweetness of rom-com perfection—you’ll want to pass it on to your bestie immediately after finishing (or, better yet, read at the same time so it can take over your group chat).’ * Clare Fletcher *
‘A romantic comedy that dwells, rather sweetly, as much on female friendship and finding your path in life as it does on finding love…Kenwood has a genuine gift for comedy, and the book bubbles along.’ * Age *
‘Romantic comedy with a great twist…A very intelligent, kind book…What Nina Kenwood does so well is that she takes you not just into the happy endings (though there’s a lot of joy and humour), but looks at what Anna does when life doesn’t go the way she thought it would…It’s lovely.’ * Michaela Kalowski, ABC TV Weekend Breakfast *
‘Sexy, fun and hard to put down…Kenwood is skilled at setting a fast pace and creating an irresistible romance between Anna and new love interest Mac that is vulnerable, steamy and tender…The Wedding Forecast will be loved by fans of Emily Henry on the lookout for a cosy and dreamy wintertime romance.’ * Books+Publishing *

‘[With] signature humour, warmth and charm…Made me guffaw until it made me quietly sob…It’s all delightful and joyous and you’ll cheer for these impossible-lovers and stay up way too late delighting in their happily ever after.’ * Jaclyn Crupi, Hill of Content *

Filled with charm, humour and pure heart…A feel-good romantic comedy that is a love letter to writing, bookstores, bookselling and what it means to begin again…oozes with comforting sweetness…blush-worthy chemistry…Had me giggling well into the night.’ * Josh Hortinela, bookseller and reviewer *

‘4 stars. The delightful messiness of love, life and friendship makes this novel a powerful story about finding yourself and discovering what brings you joy…This novel is as much about identity and finding out who you are as it is about falling in love.’ * ArtsHub *
