The blurb:
Single, coupled-up or married, this
laugh-out-loud summer read is the perfect anecdote for the wedding season!
Rebecca has chosen the most
luscious, five tiered, wedding cake. The engagement ring that she has selected
is celebrity inspired. The wedding singer is on speed dial. He doesn’t usually
do Michael Bolton, but as it’s for a first dance he’ll make an exception.
Father Maguire is checking dates for the parish church as we speak. The deposit
on the white sand honeymoon is paid for in full on Barry’s card. She has fallen
for an ivory lace couture gown that is to die for. The down payment may require
her to sell a left kidney, but it will be worth it. Isn’t that why you have
two?
There’s one teeny tiny problem.
It’s nothing, really. No need to panic! It’s just that Barry has yet to
propose. Says he’s not ready! He can be a bit of a kill joy that way. It’s time
to face the harsh reality – Rebecca is a bride without a groom!
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher in
exchange for an honest review*
It’s
Rebecca’s biggest dream to get married, she has it all lined out. When her long-term
boyfriend Barry has a surprise for her, she thinks that’s it. But she gets
disappointed...
He’s not
ready yet and before he goes to India for business they get into a huge fight,
other things happen as well and the drama increases dramatically.
I loved
reading about Rebecca’s perfect wedding. There were some great moments and
scenes in this book. It was funny, fresh and entertaining. At other times I
felt that the story didn’t move on and I got kind of stuck.
Unfortunately,
I couldn’t relate to Rebecca and I didn’t really like Barry. I questioned their
decisions and actions and they didn’t come across as a real couple. Rebecca is
THE bridezilla, which makes it really entertaining. Only when Barry comes back
from India the passion between them starts to build up and I really enjoyed
that. I finally felt a spark there and the scenes got more interesting. I
adored their little moments and thought that one certain surprise in the end
was really great.
The
storyline didn’t flow nicely at times and I felt that things moved either too
fast or too slow.
I have to
say I was really torn with this book. I loved at one minute and was struggling
the other. Amy’s writing is hilarious, vivid and fresh, I really liked that. The
book has a great beginning, but unfortunately some unrealistic parts in
between.
I would
definitely read another Amy Lynch book, because she’s got the humour and young
spark.
