status: Read in January, 2008

The author styles herself as the next Helen Fielding or Sophia Kinsella, but falls miserably short. She lacks wit, grammar skills, and character development. The plot meanders without building to a climax with a satisfying resolutiuon. Basically, the author hopes that the story of planning a wedding will be enough to hold the reader's interest. Perhaps it would be, if the book had enough humor to keep it going. It's not particulary clever or funny, and is a cheap imitation of good chick lit. I would not recommend this book.

95441 This makes me feel so much better about deciding not to read it :) I would have if the copy at my local library hadn't been checked out, but I won't pay for it...
