Review:
Down the Aisle with Bridezilla is a book that really shows
how crazy and spoiled some of the richer brides can be. It’s quirky and involves a lot of caffeine
and showers throughout the story. I just
wish I could drink that many lattes a day and look like a size 6.
There are some things I really liked about this book, such
as the detail given for the weddings and the fact that the majority of this
story actually focuses on her job and not her awkward romance. It was super enjoyable reading about these
various weddings as they came and the problems and quick fixes that popped up. Each bride had a unique twist, and while
their personalities felt very over the top, it helped individualize them and
worked well in this book. Each wedding was different and had its own share of
difficulties and problems. The botanical theme will forever remain my favorite.
I also had a few problems with this book, the biggest one
being the main character. Megan was just so wishy washy throughout the entire
novel, it was hard for me to get a feel for what she really wanted. Food is my
biggest example. She complains about her
weight, then eats chocolate muffins and buys multiple lattes and cappuccinos a
day. Girl, make up your mind. She’s the same way with men: she finds a
great guy, hears something off about him, and stops talking to him.
Completely. For weeks without even giving him a reason why.
It just felt like this novel was missing… something. It was averagely written; it had a different
plot but nothing that really drew me in. The romance is very light and is not
the forefront of the plot. I think the
problem was that it lacked humor for me.
I find myself comparing this to Twitter
Girl, a book I reviewed recently.
While this book won in the plot department with focusing on her job, it
lacked the humor that drew me in to Twitter
Girl. It just felt a little bland to
me.
Overall, it was an average read. Nothing really took my interest but I didn’t force
myself to finish it. It was semi enjoyable but I couldn’t brag about the
experience. I’d recommend this to anyone who would be interested in a very
light beach read.
