Title: Mediocre
Product review: I really thought I was going to like this book. Twenty-something New York writer Rachel is engaged to her long term boyfriend, now all they have to do is plan a wedding and deal with their friends and family's craziness.A large part of the book is devoted to her parents' issues with the wedding, the finances of it, as well as her difficult mother and stepmother. During the first half of the book, the interaction with her parents moved the story along, but by the end it was just repetitive. True to life maybe, but a bit boring.At the end of the book, Rachel's friends who were less than supportive of the wedding were written off as being jealous which I found pat and condescending. The author never explores the possibility that some of their friends might not be marriage-minded or that anyone could just be tired about hearing about the wedding. Everyone's just jealous of Rachel.As far as bride-to-be books, I preferred Diary of a Mad Bride.
