Waverly Bryson

review 1: Waverly Bryson is finally going to marry Jake, the man of her dreams. Everything about their lives together is destined to be wonderful, because Jake is perfect for her. This is truly what Waverly believes while in the throes of her new engagement. There is a downside, though: meeting Jake's parents and discovering the barriers between them. And realizing that her mother-in-law doesn't seem thrilled with her, but wants to take over the wedding planning, from start to finish.In her professional life, her show, Honey on Your Mind, has just gathered enough viewers to raise the number of episodes. If only her best friend Paige, partner in the Honey Shop, were not moving to Nashville, things would be awesome with her business, too.What will Waverly have to do to make the pieces... more of her life come together just right? How can she have what she wants without hurting others who love her? Does pleasing others mean you can't please yourself?"Chocolate for Two" is a delightful journey that showcases a wonderful character. Waverly seems like the girl next door, but she is sophisticated enough, with a normal amount of self-confidence. Yet her vulnerabilities make her someone that we can relate to. Her problems with how to make herself happy are familiar to all those who struggle with this juggling act.I have not read all the "Waverly" books in the series, but I'm eager to read more. There was the usual familiar and somewhat predictable plot line of romance and happily-ever-after, but the ingredients of how to carve out your own destiny with compromise instead of sacrifice added just the right touch. Four stars.
review 2: First in the series for me. Although of course you seem to miss a few things here and there it stood well by itself for me. I really loved Waverly. Marie Murnane seems to write from what she knows! All of the characters are generally likeable. A bit whiny at times but likeable!Mother-in-laws are crazy themselves at times, so I really felt the tendency to side with Waverly but at some point don't you ignore people? From the beginning to the end you wonderful if her day will really happen! And to think this all started 2 years ago! I loved their story, so romantic!! If nothing else you will love the romantic tones. And everyone needs a best friend like Andie!!!I hope there will be more of Waverly and Jake.. and more from Murnane in the future!!! less
