I generally liked the story, the romantic chemistry just wasn't there for me after the beginning half. Although, since this is Ali Hazelwood, the spicy scenes were good of course. 

I didn't really care for the Serena plot line and the big bad reveal fell flat for me. I wish I had read this as an audiobook, I think I would have enjoyed it more in that format.

Painfully immature writing, the “everyone else hates her he loves and would die for her upon meeting her” thing had it difficult to even start this book. I was super excited for this book and ordered it from the library right after it was released, only to be disappointed within the first few pages. Pushed on and finally decided it was a waste of time. It makes me really sad because Ali Hazelwood got me back into reading, however what other reviews say rings true: She can only write one kind of story, one kind of female character, one male character.

So far, Bride has been my second-favorite Ali Hazelwood book behind The Love Hypothesis. I liked Misery as a character, and I think the plot could have been very interesting but fell short of being developed. I also mostly like the relationship between Misery and Lowe, although the scene in her apartment doesn't make any sense. As a whole, better than both Love on the Brain and Love, Theoretically.
