Summary: Almost too witty for the genre
Review: I love chick lit and I can't resist books about weddings, so when I saw this in a bookstore I thought I'd give the new author a chance. I'm glad I did -- the characters are well-drawn, the author has a great tone. Overall, the book is exactly what it's intended to do: keeps you guessing, keeps you entertained, and keeps you wanting more. Can't wait for a second book.

Summary: a great read
Review: I loved this book! Made me feel like my own experience planning a wedding was a cakewalk! Schwartz has a great sense of humor about so many of the traditions, expectations, and inevitable pitfalls that seem to go hand in hand with deciding to get married these days, but she never loses sight of the seriousness of the endeavor. Her characters are fully drawn and sympathetic-- and the frustrations Rachel Silverman experiences on her way to the alter are real-- not the superficial oh-no-my-pedicure-got-messed-up! type that characterize so many wedding horror stories. THis was a really quick and entertaining read-- and will make a great gift for all my engaged friends!

Summary: very boring
Review: I struggled to get through this one. It was a bit boring and tedious. There's only so much one can read about people complaining about parents, future in-laws, wedding details, etc. It needed a little more movement. This book wasn't horrible, just boring. Also, since I'm not Jewish, I felt that I needed a Yiddish glossary in the back to make sense of a lot of stuff. Read either one of Cara Lockwood's books instead for a better read.
