Publisher's Summary:
With Joy, Love, and a Little Trepidation, Courtney, Sienna, and Rachel Invite You to the Most Emotional Wedding of the Year - Their Mother's
Courtney - the Misfit
As the awkward one, Courtney Watson may not be as together as her sisters, but she excels at one thing: keeping secrets, including her white-hot affair with a sexy music producer. Planning Mom's wedding exposes her startling hidden life, changing her family's view of her - and how she views herself - forever.
Sienna - the Free Spirit
When Sienna's boyfriend proposes - in front of her mom and sisters, for crying out loud - he takes her by surprise. She already has two broken engagements under her belt. Should she say "I do" even if she's not sure she does?
Rachel - the Cynic
Rachel thought love would last forever - right up until her divorce. As Mom's wedding day draws near and her ex begs for a second chance, she's forced to acknowledge some uncomfortable truths about why her marriage failed and decide if she'll let pride stand in the way of her own happily ever after.
A must-listen for anyone who has survived the wedding of a sister, a mother, or a daughter - as told by the master storyteller of the genre.
Members Reviews:
Nice journey for mom and daughters
This book was a slow burner romance. It wasnt really slow, but it was a steady build up with four different subplots converging to the middle, which was the Maggies wedding.
Maggie was getting married and her three daughters, Rachel, Sienna and Courtney were assisting her to execute her plans. As they worked, the reader was given insight to each daughters life and their role in the overall family dynamics. The three girls, Rachel, Sienna and Courtney seem to fall into stereotypical characters.
Working on this wedding allowed each of the ladies to grow individually as well as collectively. Their journey was entertaining as well as inspiring. I enjoyed the story without feeling like it was preachy. I appreciate the author for not making it overly dramatic but a journey were the characters grew from their mistakes and found inner strength to be more.
This is my first book by Susan Mallery but her writing was definitely solid. The narrative was well developed and flowed well. I didnt have difficulty following what was going on and I felt satisfied with the ending. I look forward to trying other series by this author.
Narrator destroys the story
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
The story yes, but not in audio with this narrator
What did you like best about this story?
It's a typical Susan Mallery novel and doesn't stray far from her usual books. There seemed to be a little less humor in this one, but it's hard to tell because the narrator caused it to be a real challenge to listen to
How could the performance have been better?
It could ONLY get better
What would have made this romance irresistible?
It needed more fun and less serious situations.
Any additional comments?
I'm not the type that tries to be a critic with witty comments about the book's story, the author or the narrator, but this is truly one of the worst narrations I've listened to in over 10 years of audio book listening
Just okay...wouldn't read again. Wish I hadn't!
I have kept debating on writing this review or not as I don't like leaving negative feedback. After seeing it in my library again, I knew I needed to share.
