While I did find this book cute, I didn't find it nearly as "comical" as the tagline said; and oddly, I found myself extremely turned off by the main character. Every other character was likable (even Buck, the overbearing, tacky future-father-in-law), whereas the main character seemed a bit rude and even snobby to me. I understand having to build the character and establish who she is and what she stands for, but oftentimes the descriptions of New York City and the small Ohio town and differing classes and societal interests went much farther than needed--to a point where I found it distracting and almost offensive. If I overlook what I found to be a bit contemputous, I can see a cute, almost-enjoyable fluff of a read. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
With just one month to go before her fairy tale wedding to the third richest man in the second largest city in Ohio, Lily Blair is suddenly beset by doubts. Even though she appears to have it all - a budding career and a five-carat engagement ring from the man of her dreams - she can't decide whether to plunge headfirst into the security of married suburban life, or follow her career dreams solo to New York. And while the zany and loving cast of friends, family, and co-workers keep pushing her towards the aisle, Lily knows that, despite the passion she feels for her fiancé, she alone must come to terms with the biggest decision of her life. As she locks horns with her mother on nearly every detail, issues like veal medallions vs. chicken wings become battles in an event being staged with all the grandeur and precision of a full-scale military operation. The situation grows funnier and more desperate at every turn as Lily must confront an absurd bridal fair, an unsympathetic psychiatrist, and the local gossip column. Before she loses her sanity, she looks to her heroine, Jane Austen, for inspiration. The result is hilarious, sweet, and smart. For Lily Blair is a real heroine for the 90s and beyond, and The Accidental Bride who will keep surprising you until the end. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
