review 1: I enjoy her recipes and show but I'm still wondering why we need to know her love story. felt like I was reading a teenagers diary. I think what bothered me most was her stuttering while speaking as her brother. it just wasn't necessary and her attitude about brother was awful. which is sad to me because I've seen him on her show. so either her attitude is drastically different now or she's fake on the show.
review 2: Wow, I hated this book. I almost stopped reading it after the first section, but I kept thinking it had to get better. It didn't. It's not that the book is poorly written. The writing is fine. It's just that the author/subject (since this is a memoir) is such an awful person. I can't imagine having to deal with such a spoiled, self-centered, judgm... moreental person in real life. Everything is about her. Everything. Her brother's disability -- an inconvenience/embarrassment to her. Her parents' divorce -- a problem because it intrudes on her mental image of the perfect life and the perfect wedding.It's clear that she believes that however she is living is the BEST way and that everyone else should do it too. Don't know how to tell you this, Ree, but you don't speak for all women -- or even most of us. You speak for you.By the way, in case you were wondering, the way your brother-in-law treats you is bullying and the fact that your husband doesn't stand up for you is a bad sign. And the priest you rake over the coals was doing his job. He was highlighting all the things that strain marriages that you guys hadn't discussed because you were enveloped in a lust-filled fantasy world. I do wonder if this marriage wouldn't be over already if the money she rakes in from her brand wasn't propping up the ranch. Getting to know her through her book pretty much makes me unable to ever watch her on tv again. What a thoroughly unpleasant human being. less

I read most of this book when it was originally published as segments on Pioneer Woman's blog. I enjoyed getting to read the entire story in one place and discovering the twists of the honeymoon and what followed.The courtship and marriage are such a whirlwind that I fear they promote the kind of incredibly passionate, totally unrealistic romance of Harlequin novels. I wouldn't recommend what PW and MM did, honestly! But the description of increasing love and stirring passion - and all the sad and humorous interludes - were compelling despite my uneasiness.
