SparksofEmber’s Reviews > A Year of Weddings: Twelve Love Stories > Status Update

June story - not romantic or very relatable - it's all about a reality bachelorette planning to marry her TV groom while still pining over an ex. Though I suppose anyone trying to mend a broken heart with a replacement might be able to relate.

May story - in some ways this may be the most realistic story so far. A parent with some major hang-ups that could use some biblical counseling, a love interest with a realistic temper, a main character struggling with prioritizing family and her potential spouse. Was Publix a sponsor? They could have been. lol Having gone to school near there, I enjoyed all the Atlanta references.

April story - my favorite so far due to the unique twist of PTSD and a head injury. I really liked Marshal. I was confused about Stella though - they kept saying she had an amazing faith and was so godly but all I saw was constant doubts and really, some selfishness. (Also what kind of rich people are these having 15 different kinds of themed bridal showers?!)

Feb story - I liked the unique direction this story went. I thought the resolution happened a bit suddenly/easily though.

Jan story - was cute - You've Got Mail vibes due to the letter writing and I loved the misunderstanding between the two as they wrote each other but hadn't met. A bit anticlimactic once they did meet though. Also, it's always a bit odd to read when the MC is a famous author and bits of their own work are included in the story...
