This is a funny, smart chick lit book. 17 weddings to attend in 6 months would be overwhelming for anyone, but Joy and her boyfriend do not believe in marriage so it is even harder for her. The weddings she must attend include her mother, her father, her brother, and 5 of her best friends!!! She manages to make it through but it changes her in a way that is unexpected to her as well as the reader. This is not a cookie-cutter chick lit story and it does not have the ending one may expect. I enjoyed reading it though and her best friend Henry made me crack up laughing more than once! :)… (mehr)

Wedding Season was a good enough story... Engaging enough, interesting enough with a plot that moved forward fairly steadily without dwelling too long on any one issue. Other than that, there wasn't a lot to recommend it. The main character was somewhat unsympathetic. She was judgmental and often very closed-minded, but what worked about that was the reactions of the other characters. It wasn't merely tolerated by all the characters - she suffered real consequences due to her faults.

All in all, I did enjoy the book. It wasn't one of the best I've ever read, but I might pick it up again someday if I'm thinking a lot about weddings. Otherwise, it's probably best suited for an on-the-plane book. Read it once and forget about it.… (mehr)
