Insta Family & Insta Wedding

Title: Insta Family 

Author: Jen Atkinson

Series: Insta Series #4

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

{Insta} Family

The Insta series is one that is best read in order. It should also be read before The Bailey Brother's series, as that is a spin-off series to this one. However, ALL books in both series should be read 😁.

Lucy Bailey asks a huge favor of Jude, and because she is like a mother to him, and a grandmother to his daughter Alice, he agrees. He has no way of knowing how life changing this is going to be for him.

Coco is happily living her own life, when Jude barges in, insisting she needs to meet Lucy. Coco is hesitant, but finally agrees.

This story is the sweetest and will pull on your heart strings, and you might even shed a few tears (I did). I guarantee you will also laugh. I absolutely love Alice, has stolen the show in every book she has been in, and she makes me laugh so much.

I loved this sweet story and it gets all my stars.

★★★★★/5

{Insta} Wedding (#5)

This is a novella that wraps up the Insta series. I would advise not reading the synopsis for this one as it gives away a decent part of the story. I will say, do not read this one until you have read all the other books in the series, as this one wraps up the series nicely. 

Once again, I loved seeing this friend group and how close they are. I loved seeing Iris's story come full circle, as the series started with her, and we are now at her wedding. And, of course, I enjoyed the scenes with Alice in them! 

A perfect way to end the series!

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

{Insta} Family

Meeting your birth family is nerve-racking. So, it’s helpful when tall, dark, and lovable shows up to hold your hand.

Coco had never planned to find her birth parents. But when Jude finds her—confessing that he knows her birth mother and he wants to set up a meeting, it’s suddenly all she can think about. Okay… maybe not all she’s thinking about. The messenger, Mr. Jude Taylor, himself, is pretty difficult to get off the brain.

Still, Coco’s working on becoming a partner at her clinic. She’s got friends and clients and a life—she can’t just pick up and leave. Can she?

Jude has enough on his plate—single dad, crazy ex, boring job. Yep—he’s got plenty to take up his time. But when his best friend’s mom asks him to do her a favor, he knows he’ll come to the rescue. Lucy has always been like another mom to him—often more supportive than his own mother. The only problem—Lucy’s favor is a big one. He isn’t running to the store to pick up groceries, but flying one thousand miles to find a stranger and inform her that he happens to know who her birth mother is.

That’s a big ask. Like a huge ask. What about his job? What about his daughter? It’s too much. So—of course he’ll do it. Yep, he’s the best… or maybe he’s just a sucker who can’t say no to Lucy Bailey.

But Jude is logical and organized. He’s got a plan. He can get this job done in less than a day. Or at least he could if Coco would follow along with the plan. It also isn’t helpful that somehow this girl, Lucy’s daughter is sending sparks throughout his sparkless body and forget tugging, Coco is the commander in control of Jude’s heartstrings.

But Jude has a daughter to consider and Coco has an entire family to get to know. This isn’t the right time or the right place to fall in love. Too bad his heart isn’t listening to logic.

{Insta} Wedding:

Iris, Ebony, Beth, and Coco are together, at last, for a final novella adventure!

Iris has spent the last year planning and preparing for the perfect mountaintop wedding. Everything is in place. Everything is ready to go. Everything is set… Now if only her wedding party would cooperate!

One does not plan to go into labor the day for their twin sister’s wedding. Nope, in fact, Ebony would have chosen any other moment in time to give birth. But apparently she doesn’t get to choose. Peanut is coming, no matter how much she tries to convince herself otherwise.

Beth has a secret. A couple actually. She is great at keeping secrets. Well, sort of great. Maybe don’t ask Tate or Ebony about how great she is… But significant others and best friends don’t count, right? Yeah… just don’t ask Tate’s or Ebony’s opinion on the matter.

Being thrust into motherhood has gotten Coco ready for the madness this wedding has become. She can handle Iris, Ebony, and Beth, as well as the craziness they are throwing at her. Why? Because she’s been living with a six-year-old for the past two months, and now she has superpowers. That’s why.

Join Iris, Ebony, Beth, Coco, and, of course, all of Instagram for the wedding adventure of a lifetime!
