4.5/5 Stars
What happens when a crafting queen and a disenchanted workaholic are thrown together to compete in a televised contest to craft the best wedding for their engaged siblings? I'll tell you. Abject chaos. And I am so here for it.
I really loved the premise for this story and Quinn knows how to pull the reader into the story and keep them interested. Her writing style is just magical. It is so complimentary to the rom-com genre. She knows how to write scenes that will make you laugh out loud, make you tear up, and make you...well, you know. -wink wink- Her writing style is so fluid and her prose is so lovely yet down to earth. The pacing in this story was spot on. I really enjoyed the plot and the emotional components to it. This story was very character-driven so the world-building wasn't over the top, but it didn't really need to be. The world wasn't overly detailed but that didn't take away from the story at all.
These characters were so delightful and memorable. Luna was a breath of fresh air. I truly adored her. She was motivated, fun, and had such a big heart. Alec's character had a lot of character development in the story but I didn't feel as connected to his character like all the others. I can't really put my finger on why that is but he just felt more one-dimensional compared to the other characters in the story. He did have a lot of internal growth and made a lot of life changes but it felt like a blank-faced mannequin was doing those things as opposed to a fully fleshed-out character. I think that this may be some personal preference maybe? Because I can't for the life of me figure out why I didn't like his character as much as the others. I did really love all of the side characters in this book. They all had distinct personalities that really shone through the pages. Luna and Alec have really great families and watching them come together on The Wedding Game put a smile on my face.
Alec and Luna had an enemies-to-lovers romance. I found the beginning part of their romance very amusing. Their "meet-cute" was all sorts of tense which made for some good reading. The banter they shared at the start was addictive. I did feel that Alec caved in to the idea of being with Luna far too soon considering his views on love and his life choices up until that point. He was kind of the perfect book boyfriend but it was almost too easy. While their romance was enjoyable, I felt that it lacked a little bit of intensity.
Overall, this is a clever rom-com with the perfect balance of humor and emotion. If you think you'd enjoy reading about grown women fighting over crafting supplies like toddlers over play-doh, air fistfights to the death, and flamingo-themed weddings then get comfortable because this book will take you by storm. There are so many hilarious moments, emotional scenes, and so much witty dialogue. If rom-coms are your jam then Meghan Quinn should really be your supplier. What better high is there?

4.5 Stars!! Quirky and laugh-out-loud read...
4.5 StarsLuna Rossi has never met a craft that she didn't love! So, who would be better to participate in a craft-your-own-wedding competition for her brother and his soon-to-be husband?! Well, that is if she can convince them that they actually WANT to enter the competition...Alec Baxter is a divorce lawyer whose relationship with his brother is abysmal, at best. He knows nothing of crafting, weddings, or happily ever afters... but for his brother, he is (reluctantly!!) willing to try...The Wedding Game is a competition unlike any other. Three teams pitted against each other to craft the wedding of their dreams... but with their stress and relationship disfunction being broadcast on national television, which one of these families will come out on top!?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Wedding Game was an indisputably delightful read!! I had so much fun with every aspect of the wedding planning competition that was at the center of this fresh and hilarious book. Luna and Alec couldn't be more opposite if they tried, and although their interactions start out very, very badly, they find themselves drawn to each other... in a completely inconvenient sworn-enemy/bitter opponents, scenario...Luna is a crafter extraordinaire who wants the absolute best wedding for her beloved brother and her soon to be brother-in-law, and the Wedding Game is the type of opportunity to make that happen... and she just can't pass it up. Alec loves his brother and has always been his protector and biggest champion... or he used to be. Looking for a way to repair their relationship, and to get to know his soon to be sister-in-law, before it's too late to make amends, Alec is asked to join them on their crazy wedding competition quest. And he does... although he has no wedding-related skills that would win anyone, any sort of prize...This competition is a formidable one, and while fraternizing with the enemy seems like the absolute worst idea, Luna and Alec just can't seem to stay away from each other... or the wedding cake frosting...This quirky and laugh-out-loud read was fabulously entertaining, and refreshingly original! The world building and the characters were vastly intriguing and impeccably done, and I adored how different all of the couples for the competition ended up being! Luna and Alec were such an adorable and unlikely duo that were completely meant for each other and at the same time, in the worst possible position.Sexy, dramatic, and so much fun, The Wedding Game is a book you do not want to miss!I received a complimentary copy of this book through Prime Reads and I am providing my honest and unbiased review.
