ARC Review: The Wedding Pact by Christy McKellen

Publication Date: September 13, 2026

Ida and Raffa have such a whirlwind holiday romance! Their time in the Maldives was passionate, romantic, and filled with all the best parts of a holiday getaway turned romance. From their online friendship to a real life relationship, Ida and Raffa come together in a very raw & real way.

One thing I loved about this book was how Raffa grows so much emotionally over the course of the story. There’s always something so refreshing about a MMC who realizes they need to grow and become more in touch with their feelings. Ida brings out a sweet side of Raffa and makes him look at his own life through a different lens, which is such a wonderful dynamic for them to have.

The Wedding Pact was short and sweet! Christy McKellen is so good at writing love stories that are easy to read while also having emotional depth. Add a forced proximity and fake dating dynamic and you truly have the perfect combination.

Thank you to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
