The FMC was really on my nerves in this book and I just couldn’t get past it.

"Her mom hadn’t dated since the disaster that ended her last marriage. She hadn’t been able to trust anyone since. Not that Imani blamed her. Almost getting killed by your husband’s mistress tended to do that to a person."
Dr. Imani Kemp goes back to her hometown of Peachtree Cove, Georgia to stop her mom from getting married. Imani's mom is marrying a man she recently met. Still not fully healed from the betrayal of her father, Imani does not trust men and doesn't want her mom make a mistake. When Imani arrives, she sees a man, Cyril Dash, and she is very attracted to him. However, she stumbles during an awkward introduction. Imani later discovers Cyril is the son of the man her mom to marry. Cyril is dealing family trauma as well. The death of his mom caused him and his dad to relocate to quiet Peachtree Cove. Cyril is fine with his dad remarriage. Imani and he try their best to work together to plan the wedding and try not to give in to their mutual physical and emotional attraction. However, secrets come out and things take a turn. Imani was very irritating. She wanted to stay alone, like herself, and I did not agree with that. Her attitude was very juvenile at times. She underestimated her mother's ability to take care of herself. I loved the small town environment of the book and Imani reconnecting to her friends and family. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Fijn boek, lekker zoetsappig en voorspelbaar. Het ging wel wat te langzaam om er echt bij te blijven. Ook was het ergens wat ongemakkelijk gezien de relaties die ontstaan.

Imani and Cyril met and had an instant attraction before either of them knew who the other was. Then she found out he was the son of the man her mother suddenly wanted to marry. Now Imani has to fight her attraction to him while trying to stop this sudden wedding.
This book was wonderful.

If you like drama, fun, and tons of love then you need to read The Secret to a Southern Wedding by Synithia Williams! I had so much fun reading this book and got through it in one sitting. This novel is a part of the Peachtree Cove Series and I cannot wait to read more!
Meet Imani. She is from the small town of Peachtree Cove, and is now one of the most sought-after OB-GYNs in Tallahassee. She’s receiving an award for Doctor of the Year, and nothing could be better. Then her mom sends a text message stating she’s getting married. WHAT?! So Imani packs up and heads home. Will she be able to talk some sense into her mother before she says, “I do”?!
Aside from drama, fun and love, there are many other things I loved about this book. It was witty, dealt with second chances, healing, and forgiveness, and Williams paired all of that with amazing characters and a plot that keeps you turning pages until three o’clock in the morning.
