Lottie just knows that her boyfriend is going to propose, but then his big question involves a trip abroad — not a trip down the aisle.

Her sister, Fliss, thinks Lottie is making a terrible mistake, and will do anything to stop her. But Lottie is determined to say “I do,” for better, or for worse.Specify Books Supposing Wedding Night

Actual rating: 3,5This will be just a brief review.This book was really fun, especially at first. Lottie was, to me, relatable character (now you'll probably think I'm crazy but guess what - I am!).Fliss was likeable at first, but after a while, she started annoying me (view spoiler)[(especially when she crossed the line and putedt her sister's life in dangeour just to stop her from having sex). (hide spoiler)]Same goes for her son, who was sweet at fist but then his lies weren't that funnyWedding Night isn't my first Sophie Kinsella book, but its the first I've read in a while - and it was so refreshing to read another of her books! They're always so entertaining, funny, and easy reads! Wedding Night was no different; it had me giggling throughout! The story follows two sisters as one embarks on an impulsive wedding to a man she hasn't seen in fifteen years, and the other attempts to stop the wedding night from going ahead. Like all of the Sophie Kinsella books I've read, the
Sophie Kinsella's last book, I've Got Your Number, was my absolute fave, and I loved the idea of a Chick Lit story set in Greece, so I've been eagerly anticipating Wedding Night for months. Sadly, I ended up being disappointed with this one. It had its entertaining moments, but the humor just felt slapstick-y and I had a really hard time caring about either heroine. Older sister, Fliss, was a bitter divorcee with control issues, while her younger sib, Lottie, was so flighty, immature, and
So, I read the first 100 pages and started skimming after that. Just couldn't get into it so I don't think it is fair to give it a rating. It was definitely a fluffy, chick lit book, but this one just wasn't for me. I guess I tried and I know now that I just need to stick to the hardcore stuff.
I'm usually a huge fan of Sophie Kinsella. I usually devour her books within a day. But Wedding Night made all the difference: I really had trouble finishing it, I only skimmed over the last pages. I was never sure whether the book was supposed to be funny or just sad. After having read the opening chapter (the "proposal" scene) I actually thought of quitting right then and there. This scene was just completely embarassing - as were many others. The book just didn't feel like Sophie Kinsella at
There are two heroines in this book Fliss and Lottie and it's very hard to pick which one I prefer. First we meet Lottie who is sure her partner Richard is talking about marrying her to find out he is talking about Air Miles. She walks out not really giving him a chance to talk that much. She really would make a great careers adviser. (That was a funny chapter)Second is Fliss who is going through a messy divorce with Daniel who they have son Noah together. Many people are calling Fliss bitter.
This one gets three stars because I laughed so hard I cried multiple times while reading it. That is the genius of Sophie Kinsella's writing. And it is certainly here in all its screwball comedy abundance. But. I won't be re-reading it like I will I've Got Your Number. I didn't fall in love with the characters as much as I wanted to, because they always zigged embarrassingly silly when they should have zagged genuinely empathetic. It was a close call at second, too. Part of the problem was what
