This one was almost painfully stupid at times. How do these characters maintain jobs and friendships among the chaos?

Pretty good book. The plot/storyline silliness is consistent with many of Kinsella's other books. Parts of the book made me laugh out loud, but other parts were just ridiculous. Overall, it entertained me.
Huge fan of Sophie Kinsella and since my work is deep and heavy coaching and my yoga is deep and intense, I need light reading at night. I have thoroughly all of Sophie Kinsella's books, although I can see that she has grown tremendously as an author, something love watching as I read the works of a given author over a period of time. I picked up one of her Shopaholic books and it was before this one and I've read all her latest books. Just lovely to watch that she has truly honed her fiction creation powers.
The Wedding Night was funny and sad. The underlying theme of love and marriage, the desire to want to something when your partner wants something else or isn't quite on the same timeline, and the embarrassment of finding it out and realizing you just can't take it anymore even if this is the love of your life. Heavy stuff, right? Well, good thing Kinsella has such a sense of humor. You'll laugh your way through this book as sisters Lottie and Fliss go through the drama together.
Delightful read. Not my favorite by Kinsella but one that filled me with some chuckles before I drifted off to lala land at night.
A few lines that I highlighted:
They have togetherness. You can just see it. At least, I can.
Men who want to get married propose. You don’t need to read the signs. They propose and that’s the sign.
“I’m just super-glad he’s found happiness with another woman.” I smile yet more sweetly. My ability to lie is unnerving even to myself. Essentially, I’m saying the diametric opposite of the truth.
“Don’t come back,” he’s saying, waving his roll-up in the air. “I tell all you young people. Don’t revisit. Youth is still where you left it, and that’s where it should stay. What are you returning for? Anything that was worth taking on life’s journey, you’ll already have taken with you.”

I started reading this and realized I had started reading it once before. Having finished it, I now know why I didn't miss it when put it down the first time. It wasn't bad, but it dragged on a bit. It was the only book I had with me on a trip so I read all 450 pages (a bit long for this genre).
A funny charming easy read. The perfect feel-good book.
