Summary: wrong title, depressing story
Review: As she closes in on thirty, Amy O'Sullivan wonders how she failed at life. It is bad enough that she just broke up with her boyfriend who is sleeping with an ex friend of hers, but she now lives in her parents' home. Adding to her despondency is her younger sister Suzi has brought an Australian fiancé Matt Street to live with the O'Sullivans and Amy's best friend is engaged too. Perhaps her only satisfaction is her place of employment as the "Story Princess" telling tales to children, but depressingly to Amy none of her own. Alcohol fails to take the edge off her jealousy that her sibling and buddy are both getting married while she will play second fiddle as a bridesmaid. Her dejection makes her miss a real opportunity with a hunk of a children's author who likes Amy even though she acts nasty towards him. Will she overcome her sad fog to see the light of love or will she remain a melancholy loser? Sarah Webb enables the audience to see very deeply inside the soul of Amy, but that is a two-edged sword as the audience feels empathy towards her, but they will also dislike her destructive behavior especially how she treats the men in her relationships. Fans of a serious chick lit character study will enjoy this tale in spite of detesting Amy's behavior and hope she will find happiness. Harriet Klausner

Summary: wrong title, depressing story
Review: First of all, this book is not about a bridesmaid so I'm not sure where the title came from. Secondly, the protagonist is a dippy, whiny, hard-to-like character who doesn't deserve a happy ending. I was extremely disappointed after having read this book.

Summary: I tried too
Review: Hey, congratulate me; I made it through 90 pages. My main complaint is the swearing. Good grief, once it started it was non-stop (I only checked the first five or so pages when I picked it up in the bookstore). I would never be friends with such a foul-mouthed toad. It should have been an enjoyable book, but it went nowhere. The uncomplicated development took place in maybe the first ten pages and then the story should have gotten underway, but didn't. It never started, never went anywhere. Let's hope Anne Tyler can keep being entertaining. Or try a children's book. Saffy's Angel by Hilary McKay is funny.

Summary: warm, funny chick lit
Review: I liked this book a lot. I'm a big fan of Irish chick lit and I picked this one up 'cause I liked the cover to be honest. But the story's great. It's about Amy who's been unlucky in love and her sister and friends. When you're reading the book she seems very 'real' and althoough not always easy to like, you're rooting for her all the way. Great happy ending too!

Summary: Irish gem
Review: I liked this book because it had real heart. The main character, Amy is less than perfect (are any of us!) but she puts her life back together by the end of the book. I liked her sister, Suzi and the wedding scenes too. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes a light, fun read and a happy ending.
