fun.

This book kept my attention and I liked the main character, Daniella. I found myself wanting her to find happiness and she does, to a degree.

That said, the book's open ending was a bit of a disappointment as I prefer my stories to be 'wrapped up in a neat little bow' by the end (unless there's going to be a sequel).

I got this book from a friend, didn't buy it. Not what I would normally read, but I enjoyed it. Light-hearted writing style and just a fun read. The dating escapades of the daughter are funny and all too true, I'm sure. Her mother gets more and more neurotic about the wedding details, which is funny in itself. Over all, I enjoyed it.

It was interesting to see the point of view from a person who's parent is remarrying. And seeing the trouble she has with her own dating life. I didn't like the ending, but all-in-all I couldn't put the book down.
