hollish 's review for:
You May Kiss the Bride
by Lisa Berne
Eh.
It was just okay.
The chemistry between Gabriel and Lisa didn't click with me and almost everyone they interacted with was insufferable and mostly inconsequential. There were so many characters, many of which seemed very one-dimensional. The only character I really liked was cousin Hugo and he was there only briefly.
I realized that with about 100 pages left, the black moment was coming, but I felt no dread, because I really didn't care about these characters. As a matter of fact, I had about 20 pages left and just set the book down and left to go do something else. The resolution of Gabriel's stupidity was too quick and too easy.
The author did a lot of telling instead of showing - at one point, Gabriel tells someone off in a rather spectacular manner, but we're just told about it. We don't even know what he said. yawn.
