There Goes the Bride My Rating: Must Read - I LOVED it!

Synopsis:  Happily ever after isn’t always what you expect…

My Review:  I absolutely loved There Goes the Bride.  It was a very "new" style of book to me.  The story is told by two people, and one of them is NOT Polly!  So there are actually three different stories inter-weaved together.  The book alternates between Bella, Polly's sister, and Grace, Polly's best friend.

Bella is the opposite of Polly.  She is a carter, slightly overweight and average height.  Polly is perfect in every way.  Bella tends to date "losers" and can't have children.  Polly is engaged to a "catch," Dev.  Grace is more like Polly.  Grace is perfect in every way, but in a miserable marriage.

In There Goes the Bride, will find a great story that unwinds as you read the book, a steamy affair, a bully of a husband (I didn't like Grace's husband), an unbelievable secret, a heroine (loved Bella!) and a hot (but hairy!) Irishman!

I don't want to give away the ending, but I was so shocked when I found out the secret Polly was keeping.  I was so happy for Bella and Grace - way to go girls!!!  There Goes the Bride would make an excellent summer read (or any time).  I just loved it.  Chick lit at is best, for sure.

I have never read any of Holly McQueen's books, but I can't wait to get my hand on them.  She has written three books (a series - The Adventures of Isabel Bookbinder):  The Glamorous (Double) Life of Isabel Bookbinder, Fabulously Fashionable, and Confetti Confidential.  Have you read them?  What did you think? Meet the Author:  Holly McQueen is the author of three previous novels: Confetti Confidential, Fabulously Fashionable, and The Glamourous (Double) Life of Isabel Bookbinder. She lives in London.

You can connect with Holly on Goodreads, Twitter and/or Facebook.

Purchase the Book:  You can purchase There Goes the Bride at Amazon ($15.00 paperback, $10.98 Prime Members, $9.99 Kindle), Barnes & Noble (same prices) and Book Depository ($11.83). Posted by Jilleen at 11:59 PM Labels: 5 Stars: Must Read, Chick Lit
