Critics Review
SheReads’s “Most Anticipated Beach Reads of Summer 2026.”
Southern Living’s “Must-Read New Books Coming Out This August”
“Sellet creates a unique romance that harkens back to both golden age films and 1990s rom-coms. Hildy and Walter’s jibes are delightfully witty and belie a sizzling tension that propels the tale. A romance that stands out by paying homage to the snappy banter of classic screwball comedies.”–Kirkus Reviews
“Crafting a modern-day spin on Hildy and Walter is a high bar for an author to set for themselves, but author Amanda Sellet flies over the hurdle with ease in My Best French Wedding, which features banter as effervescent and hilarious as any screwball comedy fan could hope…the story practically fizzes over with bubbly energy, from the dynamic leads to the endearing secondary cast (the bride and groom of the titular wedding are especially sweet) to the gorgeous setting in the French countryside. Sellet brings the locale to vivid life with her lush descriptions of decadent food, exquisite locations and richly romantic set pieces, including one in a restored castle.”–BookPage
“My Best French Wedding is Amanda Sellet’s best rom-com yet–full of hijinks, laugh-so-hard-your-ribs-hurt banter, characters you can’t help rooting for, and a blissful escape into the French countryside. If you love classic 90s romantic comedies, pick up this book!”–Adib Khorram, USA Today bestselling author of I’ll Have What He’s Having
“A joyful escape, a loving tribute to a fabulous film, and a perfect fit for armchair travellers who enjoy a lot of push in their push-and-pull love stories, and a lot of “com” in their rom-coms.“–Jacqueline Firkins, author of The Goode Girls of Maple Lane
“Amanda Sellet puts the comedy back in ‘rom-com’”–The Lawrence Times
“Sellet is one of the wittiest writers out there.”–Dahlia Adler, writing for Smart B*tches, Trashy Books
”[Sellet] could teach a masterclass in the art of misunderstandings gone awry!“–KJ Micciche, author of The Book Proposal and A Storybook Wedding
“Amanda Sellet is a comic genius.”–Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy
