Review
Four Weekends and a Funeral comes with a unique plot and many clever references to movies and books. While I found it entertaining, I also thought the story was slow-moving.
Overall, I liked it. It’s a nice rom-com. I just didn’t love it. I also really enjoyed the ending!
“You’re kind of my favourite new person, if that’s not too weird a thing to say.”
“You don’t need to prove you deserve your life to me or anyone. You deserve it, because everyone does. When they die or get sick or have to get a mastectomy, it’s not because they deserve it. It’s not fair, and it’s random. There’s nothing we can do other than live how we want to live.”
“I was so determined to see it as a negative thing, but he saw how right I was for someone he loved”
Blurb
A tender, laugh-out-loud debut romance about a woman who ends up in over her head after a little white lie . . .
When thirty-year-old post-double-mastectomy BRCA 1 carrier and reluctant thrill-seeker Alison Mullally arrives at her ex-boyfriend Sam’s funeral to find that no one knows he dumped her, she agrees to play the grieving girlfriend for the sake of the family and pack up Sam’s apartment with his prickly best friend, Adam Berg. After all, it’ll only take four weekends . . .
But Adam doesn’t want Alison anywhere near him. Forced to spend long hours with the grump, and his monosyllabic demeanor, Alison decides she must put her people-pleasing abilities to the test. She will make him like her. And after awkward family affairs and packing up dilemmas, the two form a tenuous friendship . . . if “friendship” means incredible chemistry and tension between them. Can Alison come clean and finally embrace the life and love she’s always wanted? Or will her little white lie get in the way of her new, unexpected romance?
