Customer Reviews

Really enjoyed it! - Rated 4/5
I have to agree with another reviewer here - this is Patricia's best book so far. I read it on holiday and could hardly put it down. She deals with the subject of weddings and families really well and also she depicts older female characters very well too. I felt really sorry for poor Judith who at fifty is spiteful, resentful and discontent because she feels life has passed her by while she's been taking care of her mother Lily and has no help from either of her siblings. You really understand why she is the way she is by the end of the book. I also really liked Connie, first wife and mother-of-the bride and I liked melissa, the teenage step sister of the bride for all her naivety and rebellious teenage ways. The run up to the wedding was narrated really well and I enjoyed reading about the actual day. I would give this 5 stars but because it 'is to be continued' I removed a star. How can I wait a whole year to find out what happens next??? It's so frustrating!!!


Best Patricia Scanlan so far... - Rated 4/5
I have read almost all of Patricia Scanlan's books and enjoyed this the most. She manages to engage with the characters in a manner that moves the plot along but doesn't delve into superfluous detail, as is an unfortunate habit of many writers of this genre. An enjoyable read!

One criticism, however, the theme of age is prevalent in the book, but without the writer explicitly telling us the ages of the various characters I would have had no idea at all. More attention to this detail would have aided the character development.


Could have done without the token cat - Rated 4/5
Why do the writers of this type of fiction feel they have to include a cat in the story? Oh yes, women read these books and women like cats, let's put one in. It's a bit patronising. I also found the character of Judith very irritating. What kind of a person reaches the age of 50 and is still stupid enough to think that younger people all have perfect lives? Where was she hiding for 50 years?

As for the "to be continued" at the end of the book, this is a bit high-handed of the author, especially when you bear in mind how long we will have to wait for the next book. It's not like it's a short story in a magazine where you'll find out what happens next week. By the time Patricia's next book comes out, we'll have forgotten about this one,so what's the point in continuing it?


A nice read, but...... - Rated 3/5
The last 3 words in this book are "To be continued...."; so although you know the story is going to be finished, it would have been nice to be able to put the book down and sign with satisfaction, rather than frustration.

I got to the last page at 1am on Saturday morning and although I hadn't realised I was getting towards the end of the book, I wasn't expecting to have to buy a new book to find out what happens to the characters!!

The story itself is quite interesting, but just be aware before you invest some time and energy in connecting with the characters, as you won't get the complete story.
