54. A Bad Bride's Tale

This one was good, but not quite about what the book jacket said. A pretty good example of where the jacket text writer didn't actually read beyond chapter 1 I suppose... the description only talks about one storyline - Stevie's so I was a bit surprised when all of the sudden there was a chapter from the perspective of someone named Katy who had yet to be mentioned.

In the end it all works out - characters all connected, and interconnected as it may be, and I liked the book. Good chick lit with the main storyline ending very predictiably and the side stories also wrapping up into their expected neat little conclusions.

If you are looking for a typical chick lit read, this is a good one.

Here's the (not so comprehensive) description from B&N:

Two weeks before her wedding, Stevie Jonson, a successful graphic designer in her mid-thirties, has got serious jitters. Is she finally growing up, or compromising horribly? In love or in denial? By the time Stevie steps into her 1930s vintage wedding dress for the last fitting, her life is coming apart at the seams. Her best friend, Lara, is moving to New York City, fulfilling Stevie's long-held dream of moving there herself; her parents' marriage is heading for the rocks; her teenage crush (The One That Got Away) is back in town, a reminder of everything her fiancé isn't; and that niggling little voice in her head is getting louder all the time. As the clock ticks, a shocking secret threatens to bring Stevie's future crashing down around her.

A Bad Bride's Tale is a grown-up love story about marrying, mating, compromising . . . and how love doesn't have a timetable.
