Not my cup of tea but I'm sure it could have wide appeal for many readers. I'm just not into romance-y, chick lit. If you are, you'll enjoy it!

I used to LOVE any book by this author. The Blue Bistro, The Beach Club, and Nantucket Nights were wonderful. But her past couple have been really awful. I mean, totally boring, nothing compelling or even all that interesting. It makes me sad :(
The characters in this book aren't even remotely likable, and there are wayyy to many of them. I had a hard time keeping up with all the characters, and so many of them weren't even critical to the plot - so they were like useless filler. The story itself was booooorrring. I couldn't wait to finish it. I just couldn't find myself caring enough about an overpriced posh wedding with a bunch of spoiled, wealthy, shallow people in attendance. And the whole idea of the Notebook? Weird. I suppose it's supposed to be sweet and sad and all, but I think it's just ridiculous that modern day women would follow the suggestions (or, direction) of their deceased mother to the tee. Where are their own ideas and desires? What did the groom and his family think about having virtually no say in anything? It's just silly.
I'm really going to re-considered reading anything by this author again.

A combination of rich people behaving badly and wedding blues. We have a six figure wedding described from multiple viewpoints, none of which are particularly endearing. This moved right along me care about anyone.
I was entertained but this was deeply dated and kind of offensive
