How many weddings does it take to fall in love? One year ago, Amelie had it all. Almost engaged to her high school sweetheart, close to her childhood best friend, and cooking at her dad's restaurant: her life was exactly what she’d ordered. Until Ian, an opinionated wedding-hater, popped up out of nowhere and proved she might like something off menu. *** One year later, Amelie has lost it all. She’s unemployed, single, and taking a break from her friendship. As for Ian? He’s gone too. When she visits Ian's hometown to teach at a week-long cooking conference, she hopes for a fateful meet-cute. But their reunion is far from joyful when Amelie discovers Ian is the son of her father's business rival. Even bigger fiasco? He only wants friendship. Amelie has one week to change his mind, and if the truth of why her whole life fell apart remains hidden, their love story might even end with a wedding. The Wedding Menu is a steamy, dual-timeline, laugh out loud romcom about weddings, secrets, and French delicacies. It features two friends who should be rivals but keep choosing each other against all odds.

I wasn’t sure how this book would compare to Desserts for Stressed People, but… HOW IS THIS BETTER?!! DFSP had made it to my top faves of 2023, and then The Wedding Menu happened, and I FELL HARD FOR EVERYTHING! For Amelie and her life and her way of thinking so similar to mine. For Ian for being Ian! Unpopular opinions and all! He was EVERYTHING! True cinnamon roll and golden retriever AND he has tattoos! his dirty talk had me choking on air, and then his sweet moments would have me swoooooning!
I also loved the flashback chapters and how much history we got for Amelie and Ian. And I loved the cameo of the DFSP characters at the end!
