Title: A Library Loan, not a Buying Book
Review: I actually borrowed this book because I'd heard about the ending and was interested to see how the author handled it.It's not awful but it could have been SO much better. It's an interesting premise but the heroine's situation (17 weddings in six months) and dilemma are rather contrived and the author went through contortions to get to her chosen ending. The characters (far too many) are mostly stock creations and hard to care about, and Cosper obviously never heard of the maxim "show, don't tell."It's a fair first novel but I agree with other reviewers that her editors should have sent it back for a few more revisions. Jane Austen (or even Austen-like), it is not.Bottom line, it's a light read for when you don't want to have to think too much.
Is the review positive or negative?
