Publisher's Summary:
Local journalist Cassie is getting married to a hotshot lawyer, reliable Timothy, and his monster-in-law mother, Sylvia, wants to plan the entire wedding. When Sylvia books the exclusive ID Images to take photographs of the extravagant wedding, Cassie has no idea what she's walking into.
The elusive JM, who is the newest photographer employed, just so happens to be Jared, Cassie's first love and ex-fiancé, who broke off their engagement to follow his lifelong dreams. Jared is back to earn some cash before jetting off on his next wild adventure.
When Cassie is asked to write an article with top tips and advice for brides to be, she jokingly writes a column depicting her current scenario, and a coworker submits it in place of the real article. Cassie's column is soon making headlines, with readers asking the age old question: "Who will she choose?"
Members Reviews:
Itâs lovely to find a new author that you enjoy and I would heartily recommend this book
Journalist Cassie is engaged to Timothy. Heâs a rich successful and confident lawyer so when he proposed, in public, on Valentineâs Day, she couldnât really refuse. But now his interfering and over-bearing mother has decided that the wedding should be in two months time. Cassie is worried she is being swept along with it all, but the venue her future mother-in-law has booked is just gorgeous, and then she also books the best photography studio in town to do the wedding photos. All seems to be going along okay until Cassie discovers that the photographer chosen to cover their wedding is in fact her first love, who broke her heart seven years ago.
I really loved this book. It had everything you need in a quick-read romantic comedy, and Cassie was really easy to relate to. She is desperately trying to retain her independence whilst at the same time being subtly controlled by both her fiancé and his mother. The writing style was light and very easy to read and if Iâd had the time I would have loved to read it in one sitting. As it was I was excited to return to it when I went to bed and got totally caught up in the story while reading with a torch under the covers.
The main characters, Cassie, Timothy and photographer Jared, were all well written and I got a very clear picture in my mind of all of them. Jared was very sexy which is of course essential in this genre of book! The more minor characters including Timothyâs mother Sylvia, and Cassieâs best friend Sam, are also vividly portrayed. I always think the best friend is an essential part of a chick lit novel.
When Cassie is asked to write a wedding diary column in the paper she works for, the wrong article gets published and she is left in a very awkward situation. I donât want to say too much more so as not to give anything away, but it kept me entertained and entranced right up to the end. An excellent read.
However, I do have a couple of concerns that Iâd like to mention that I feel have more to do with the editing than the writing. Most of the book is seen from Cassieâs POV with sections being from Jaredâs, and one from Timothyâs. Thatâs fine, but the head hopping occurred with no warning, in the middle of a page, and actually became a little disconcerting and confusing at times. I always feel itâs better to have a break (row of stars maybe) before a POV change to make it obvious that we are now in someone elseâs head.
