This book was cute. It didn't make me think too hard and I'm a firm beleiver in reading these types of books every so often to lighten the mood up!
Since it was such a silly book it wasn't written as well as it could have been. I tended to lose track of who was who occassionally. I don't know if that's because the author could have done a better job or if the book actually bored me?

The premise of the book is that three women are married the same weekend by the same minister. He drops dead before signing and filing the women's marriage licenses, and when they are informed of such, they are facing some betrayals as new wives that make them unsure of whether not they want to re-tie the knot.
This was a fun and quick read. All three women face very different issues which lead them to be unsure in their marriages, and the struggles they faced made me immediately jump to the ...more

Nearlyweds was a cute story about three women who all got married on the same weekend. A few weeks after their weddings, they all found out that their minister never filed the licenses and died before doing so. This aptly gives them the opportunity to re-evaluate their situations and marriages which is a good thing because they all seem to be facing serious hurdles.

This was a cute story about 3 couples that discover several months into their marriage that they are not legally married. Important documents were never signed and they must now go to the courthouse to get officially married. At this point, they are all struggling in their marriages and start debating whether they really want to make it official. They become friends and start commiserating together as they seek out answers for their troubled marriages.

This is a really quick read and a good, humorous book.
It is about 3 women who all get married on the same weekend; thier pastor dies without signing any of the marriage certificates, so they are technically not married.
The book is about the stories of these women and how they actually start wondering if they should get married again. Was it a mistake to begin with?
The characters in this book are all very likable. I would like to check out another book by Beth Kenderick

Three new brides, disillusioned with the men they thought they wanted to marry, discover some critical paperwork wasn't filed and their marriages aren't legal after all. Wacky chick-lit hijinks ensue. What makes this book is the mother-in-law of one of the women, who tries to poison her daughter-in-law, helps them buy a house, which she then uses as an excuse to move in with them, turns their date night into mother-son night and is generally the mother-in-law from hell.

After coming off the sad Vanishing Acts of Esme Lennox, this was a total no-brainer. Light, entertaining but predictable, chick-lit.
Three newlywed couples find out that the pastor who married them died before signing their marriage license and they are not legally married. All facing obstacles in their marriages already, try to decide if they want to make it legit and get remarried.
Worth a read if you need a distraction, not something deeper.

This book was entertaining while I was reading it, but it had to real substance to the story. I could put it down and not wonder what was happening. It was also not exactly what I thought it was going to be. It was kind of a sad book. Don't make the mistake I made by buying this for a soon-to-be bride. It's not that kind of book! Sorry Linz!

Three brides learn that married life is not what they expected, just in time to discover their marriages weren't legally recognized anyway! This lighthearted romp through the perils of marriage (nightmarish mothers-in-law, childish husbands, and surprise vasectomies top the list) is a swift read and thoroughly enjoyable.

Not terrible -- pretty good for the genre. The one thing I didn't love about it is that it follows three different characters, and each of their first-person voices is too similiar to the others. I'd constantly have to flip back and check the chapter title page to figure out which woman we were with.

Another quick read that was finished in a day. While these three women go through tough times in their relationships you find yourself relating to each one of them at some point and laugh out loud when they stop and ask themselves why do I put myself through this?! Hope you enjoy!

I loved this book. It was a good read, and I love the characters. It was about three couples who got married one weekend, and they all had the same preacher. He died before he signed the marriage certificates, and so they were not legally married. Will they decide to re-marry?

3 couples married on the same day find out their marriage licenses weren't signed and they will have to go through the legal formality again - but will they all do it? Interesting situation - easy read.

The concept was interesting... three couples who wed the same weekend find out they aren't actually legally married... but the author didn't do anything interesting with it.

Cute quick read. I actually read it by the pool while on vacation. It was rather silly and predictable, a huge chick book. I overall enjoyed it.

I liked this one. You get to know the characters and their trials and tribulations...question why people do the things they do. It's good.
