The Wedding Dress by Dani Atkins is the story of a beautiful wedding dress, that has an extraordinary life for 3 different brides whose lives have changed in the most unusual ways. 

 

We start with our journey with Suzanne, who finds the dress that makes her feel wonderful at Fleurs Wedding Gowns, and she is planning her wedding to the man she loves, but with an anti-men mother and a father who is coming in from another country for the wedding, and who are bother going to meet her fiancé. But then things start going wrong, and she needs to get to the bottom of it, even if it causes her pain. 

 

Then there is Bella, whose life was sort of going how she wants it, even if she has the biggest commitment-phobe boyfriend in the world! But that didn't matter as today wasn't about her, but about her best friend and bride Sasha. But then a horrific accident happens and Bella's life completely changes.

Lastly, there is Maddie, who after a very frank conversation with her grandmother, is determined to give her grandmother the wedding of her dreams! Even if she is doing it without her father's approval. 

 

This book was amazing, well written, and with modern and thought-provoking storylines, and with characters that you will never forget and it flowed perfectly from one story to the next.
