review 1: More two and a half stars than three, and I'm kind.I didn't read the first two books of the Isabel Bookbinder series - in fact, I pretty much picked up this one because it was only five bucks and I was in the need of a book to read during a long travel with the train.Of course, it's chick-lit, so if you're not into that kind of novels, you will surely find yourself bored by it. I do appreciate a nice chick-lit from time to time when I need to clear my mind, but it has to be written fairly good and mostly has to have a protagonist which I like and may identify myself with to a certain point. This, however, was not the case with this book. While it's not badly written, Isabel itself just didn't enthusiasm or even entertain me and I often found myself thinking that she acts s... moretrange and in a really weird way. She changes her mind frequently, but doesn't seem to know (or at least I didn't got the reasons) why. What bothered me most was that so many plots and storylines were built and then, all of the sudden, brought to a very quick end in the last few pages. (Dan anyone? Was this seriously the end with him? And the reason why Isabel's Mom made such a secret around her visit was simply that she went to the doctor for John?) I feel like there was potential for a lot more and maybe too many different storylines.Apart from that, the book wasn't actually this bad; it's light lecture, easy to read in a sitting and ideal to have a break when you don't feel like doing something that requires much concentration. Overall, I don't regret bying it because it was on sale - but I wouldn't pay the full prize for it.
review 2: This was a really cute book that grabbed my attention from the first page. It's chock full of really interesting characters that the author wove together perfectly. The heroine's hard work at becoming a wedding planner was at times painful, embarrassing, and funny. Working on her own love life keeps the reader guessing all the way to the end of the book as to which man she would choose. A wonderful read that makes one wonder why we go to all the trouble that we do in planning a wedding when elopement is so much simpler. less
