Five Wakes and a Wedding by Karen Ross

4.0

This book intrigued me so much! I don’t think I’ve ever read a book about an undertaker, so was interested in the angle and the story from the very start. I also love love love the cover!

The writing style was spot on and I really loved the pace, language, relatability and relationships throughout the book.

I felt a good connection with all of the characters and there were little twists and turns along the way also. Thoroughly enjoyed following Nina’s life and business venture!!

The only reason it’s a 4/5 and not a 5/5 is that the ending was almost too perfect which I know, isn’t entirely fair of me. It was just wrapped up too nicely and although i know it’s fiction, it felt too abstract and made up which was a slight shame as the rest of the book was a delight!
