Share This Review

The Wedding Routine is a romantic comedy written by Kevin Rush. It consists of eight chapters. It follows the life of Celia Cleary, a former dance champion and now dance studio owner who enjoys preparing couples about to wed for their first dance routine.

The book begins with a six-month anniversary celebration of her business partnership with Janos Balint, a Hungarian dancer who had been her dance partner when she won the dance championship. At the end of the celebration, Janos kisses her, leaving her rather conflicted about her feelings for him. However, the entire situation turns on its head at the wedding of one of her students when Celia catches Janos in a very precarious situation with one of the bridesmaids. A possibly broken heart and desperate need for a shortcut will send Celia into an almost literal collision course with Chef Emile. How will Celia manage her struggling business, her difficult relationship with her business partner, and the prospect of new love? Find out in this amazing book.

There are a lot of positives in this book. The book has a lot of dynamic characters, from the exotic heartthrob that is Janos to the lovable nerd that is Rupert and the wise yet savage Father Burke; each character is so distinct, yet their interactions with Celia produce nothing but comic gold. Also, I love the balance of romance to comedy in the book. It is not so romantic that it makes you cringe and, at the same time, not so humorous that it loses substance. I also love the author's use of imagery, particularly in parts where Celia narrates the terrible dancing she is witnessing; it makes for a hilarious experience. The author also does a good job of showcasing multiple cultures through the characters' interactions. The author makes use of simple language and vocabulary throughout the book, making it easy to follow. He ties together a rather pleasant read.

I could not find any major negative aspects of this book. I found minimal errors as it was professionally edited.

Therefore I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I could not give this book a lower rating as the errors found did not remotely take away from the compelling nature of the book and the hilarious interactions of its characters. I recommend this book to lovers of romantic fiction around the world, particularly those looking to get a good laugh from it.

I don’t usually like to read books that contain romance, but I think in this case I’ll make an exception. Celia sounds so much like me! She doesn’t intend it, but most of her interactions seem to have some sort of hilarity.
