Sophie Kinsella usually writes very cute, romantic, funny books. This book is not really very funny and I am not sure why not. The storyline could be funny. Lottie believes her boyfriend of four years, Richard, is going to propose. He has given her every indication that this is "it": planned a ."very special" lunch where he intends to ask her "an important question." When it turns out marriage was not what he had in mind; was in fact the furthest thing from his mind, Lottie breaks off the relationship. Her sister, Fliss (in the grips of a painfully contentious divorce), knows that after a break up, Lottie always does something stupid: gets a tattoo, shaves her head, makes what the sisters refer to as an "unfortunate" decision, so she goes into full alert mode. Within two days, Lottie's first love, Bill, appears and asserts their pact to marry if both of them are still single at 30, and Lottie's planning her wedding! The lengths Fliss, Richard, and Bill's best man go to to try and prevent the marriage, and after failing that, to prevent the consummation of the marriage, should be funny. Unfortunately it all falls a little flat. Kinsella throws everything into the mix: from an old man Bill and Lottie revered during their first young love affair revealed as a drunk admonishing everyone not to try revisiting their youth, to a mysterious billionaire wanting to purchase Bill's company, and Fliss involving the hotel staff in a nefarious scheme to prevent the newlyweds having sex, but it just becomes too much for me. Maybe some readers will find this novel amusing, but it missed the mark for me. I will not give up on Kinsella though as I have previously found her stories amusing and I am sure I will again.

Wedding Night 9780593070147 Books Reviews

I have read all of Sophie Kinsella's books, and have enjoyed them, especially the Shopaholic series, so I was looking forward to reading another one of her books, but Wedding Night was not enjoyable. In all the previous books, there were moments that caused me to laugh out loud, but in Wedding Night, there was nothing remotely amusing. Wedding Night lacks the wit of Sophie's previous books, and has no interesting twists, turns or coincidences. I am being generous by giving this book 3 stars.

When I first started reading the book, it took me a few minutes to realize that the chapters were changing, with some being a narrative by Lottie, and some being a narrative by her sister, Fliss. I didn't see much difference between the thought processes of the 2 characters, and Kinsella's attempt to differentiate their personalities is weak.

I feel as if Kinsella was under time pressure to write another book, and threw this one together quickly. The story line is so far-fetched and ridiculous, not to mention predictable. I hope that Kinsella's next book will be more like her earlier stories, which were fun to read.
This book was slightly different than what I was expecting from a Sophie Kinsella novel. She actually writes this book in several POV's.

The book is written primarily in the POV of two sisters. Lottie and Fliss. Lottie is the flighty younger sister who gets herself into crazy situations because she makes terrible choices when she's depressed about being dumped. Fliss is the older more responsible sister who is more of a control freak and is going through a bitter divorce.

The story flip flops between the two POV's as Lottie dumps her boyfriend because he didn't propose to her. So she decides to marry an old flame that she has just reconnected with and it's only been two weeks since she broke up with her ex-boyfriend. Fliss comes in and tries to stop her sister from a horrible future. It's a bit of a crazy story with a lot going on and of course hilarity ensues because I did laugh out loud several times while reading the book.

Overall, I thought the story was okay. I really did not like Lottie at all. I could not warm up to her character. She was annoying and stupid and completely blinded by her thoughts and actions. It just got on my nerves. I actually really liked the story of Fliss and what she goes through on this journey to help save her sister. Fliss of course makes some terrible decisions of her own but she was more likable and more relate-able as a character.
If I could give this book zero stars, I would. Sophie Kinsella has written many books that have zany characters but the stories are well thought out, humorous and fun to read. The fact that this book got published at all should be deeply embarrassing to both Ms. Kinsella and her publisher. The plot is stupid, the characters are weak and ill-conceived, the direction of where the story is going is apparent very early on, and on top of all that, it is VERY poorly written. The only reason I finished this book is because I have a rule for myself that if I spend money on a book, I have to read the whole thing. The depth of the flawed nature is illustrated so glaringly in how Ms. Kinsella portrays the main character's son, and in how she portrays ALL characters at the Greek resort. The 7 year old child acts and speaks like a three year old - Ms. Kinsella must either have no idea what children are like, or she was writing so fast to make a buck based on her prior work that she just didn't care. The characterization of the resort staff is just plain inane. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK! If you enjoyed Ms. Kinsella's earlier books, you're too smart for this one.
