It Started With Paris by Cathy Kelly

3.0

This story of a recently engaged couple takes the reader from the proposal to the wedding, but stops along the way to add more characters. Somehow with all of these additional characters in the story the reader is slowed down. This makes the pace of the reading much to slow and creates some chaos in the reader's mind. The story is well written, excellent use of language and description. The biggest weakness is trying to figure out how all of these characters pertain to the lives of Katy and Michael. The reader is given the story of both sets of parents, Katy's best friend and sister of best friend, and the cake baker. All of these four stories introduces a slew of people to keep track of and it is quite complicated. It ties up really nicely and that may also be the book's problem as real life is by nature messy.
