The Funeral Date by Carol Maloney Scott is a delightful and hilarious story that follows Addison, a woman who thought she had her life perfectly in place with a devoted boyfriend and a stable job at his family’s boutique hotel. But when the demanding guests at the Irish-themed inn become too much to handle during St. Patrick's Day weekend, and her boyfriend Declan sides with his family, Addison decides she needs a drastic change. Enter a charming bourbon sales rep who offers her an escape to his family home in Kentucky—only, he needs her to be his date for a family funeral. This unexpected and quirky proposal sends Addison on a wild adventure filled with humor, chaos, and a surprising amount of self-discovery.
Carol Maloney Scott’s writing in The Funeral Date is wonderfully entertaining and full of life. The plot is a perfect mix of creativity and humor that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The pace is brisk and engaging, with just the right amount of twists and turns to keep you eagerly turning the pages. The action is hilariously over-the-top at times, which fits perfectly with the story's tone.
