Negative Positive
Title: Derivative, shallow, dull
Review: If you just adore sentimental relationship/wedding stories (that pretend to be biting satire but are really just mildly snarky puff pieces), this book might be a fun time-waster for a few hours (you can skim most of it since it's plenty repetitive). On the other hand, if you are alienated by the Wedding Industrial Complex that insists that your invitations must match your reception tablecloths, OR by the notion that weddings are the pinnacle of women's lives, skip it. While the protagonist is supposedly ever-so-modern (whoa, she has a job! she briefly considers not changing her name! she has sex with her boyfriend BEFORE marriage!), the tale is the usual trite oh-the-wedding-planning-was-so-stressful-but-it-was-all-WORTH-it goo. Sorry, but I'm tired of the "desperate but kooky single women" genre.
Is the review positive or negative?
