Women's Fiction, Romance
Sometimes tying the knot gets complicated.
It’s official:
Zoey Marks is the cursed bridesmaid that no engagement can survive. Ten
years, three empire waist dresses, and ZERO brides have walked down the
aisle.
After strike three, Zoey is left wondering if her own
ambivalence towards marriage has rubbed off on those she loves. And when
her building distrust of matrimony culminates in turning down a
proposal from her perfect All-American boyfriend, Rylan Harper III, she
and Rylan are both left heartbroken, leaving Zoey to wonder: what is it
exactly about tying the knot that makes her want to run in the opposite
direction?
Enter Hannah Green: Zoey’s best friend, who announces
that she’s marrying a guy she just met (cue eye roll). At a castle. In
gorgeous, romantic Ireland, where Rylan will be in attendance, and Zoey
will be a bridesmaid. It’ll be fine.
Okay, the woman definition of fine (NOT FINE).
Determined
to turn her luck around, Zoey accepts her role and vows to get Hannah
down the aisle—all the while praying her best friend’s wedded bliss will allow her to embrace marriage and get Rylan back.
But
as the weekend goes on, Zoey is plagued with more questions than
answers. Can you be a free spirit, yet still want a certain future? Can
you have love and be loved on your terms? And how DO you wrangle a bossy
falcon into doing your bidding?
3.5 STARS
Zoey definitely marched to the beat of a different drummer. And she was TERRIFIED of marriage. That was on her no-no list. It definitely led her into some interesting situations especially when she meets up with Rylan. Someone even she says that she never saw coming !
One person that she has been a lifelong friend with is Hannah. That is someone who really gets her even though they are also different in some of their personalities.
There is plenty of emotions to the story and the people had depth to go along with their challenges. However, this story just didn't grab me even though I have to say it did have some humor in the story. Which I do like having in a story. In fact at least once I actually did laugh out loud.
I'm sorry author but the ending didn't really do it for me either.
I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley. And these are my honest opinions about it.
