ridiculously funny and absolutely chaotic; but i think it dragged a little bit too long and CHRIST was charlie annoying. breathe if you agree.
Nice summer read. Light and fluffy. I felt the pacing had a few hitches. My biggest gripe was that the 3/4 of the book was spent on wedding mishaps and not a whole lot of character development. Most, if not all, the interconnected issues between characters was addressed at the end feeling rather rushed as the majority of the book was spent on resolving one hiccup after another. I felt it could have been dispersed a little better throughout the story. Spoiler the moment where Brooke reveals herself to be a psychologist was probably the cringiest scene in the whole book. “‘Brooke. What kind of doctor are you?' She looked at me, then smiled. ‘I'm a psychologist.' She held my eye for a moment longer, then gave me a nod.” This was seriously too much for me. I had to put it down. The whole holding the gaze and nodding after a reveal felt like what you'd see in a very dramatic movie gunning for an Oscar. I actually groaned out loud. end of spoiler I give it a 3/5 because while I had a few problems with it I don't think this book was meant to be taken seriously. It's fun. It's perfect for a beach read. I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. In fact, the second to last chapter was so much fun I read it twice and giggled the whole time.
I was hoping this book would tell me whether or not I like Matson's books (I really didn't like Since You've Been Gone but I loved The Unexpected Everything). This was to be the tie breaker but alas, I'm still not sure. Not sure if i'll pick up any more of her books, but I'd still recommend them to someone looking for a summer read.
