Weddings are always so fun to write about and this one is no exception. I always love reading books about weddings going awry. Sophie Kinsella manages to make what should be quite a serious situation laugh-out-loud funny and enjoyable. The one thing that annoyed me slightly is that Becky dragged on making the decision because she was worried about hurting people, frankly having too much fun, and simply unable to make up her mind! That was frustrating.
My love for this one is largely because this one sees Becky in a real scrape that could upset family, not just herself. And plus we see a more vulnerable side to Luke in this book, as he begins to lose it a bit, and he's not as sure and self-confident as he has been in the previous two. I really like Luke as a character - he balances Becky and brings a calm head. But I'm not convinced two people so different would last together. I'm more like Luke and I know someone like Becky would drive me crazy!
This series always pulls me out of a slump, whether it's a reading slump, a depressive episode, or just need to lose myself in fiction. The characters are loveable and you can't not laugh reading some of the things that Becky does and the scrapes she gets herself into. Having not read the series for about 10 years I'm really enjoying reacquainting myself with it, and now there are a few more that I haven't yet read as well!
