Bridesmaids Jane Costello 9781847390875 Books

I know this is an older title but I feel like it would be a disservice not to tell people how freakin awesome this book is! I found myself laughing out loud almost the whole way through. I loved the girls in the novel, how the story revolved around weddings, being a bridesmaid (and never the bride), and friendship. There is a bit of drama towards the end (which was very unexpected), but this book is an all around good read despite this. The only problem with this novel is that it’s not available as an eBook. I think this really sucks because many people ONLY read eBooks these days because they are super easy to just download when your in the mood for a certain book. Hopefully the author or a publisher will put it out as an eBook so others can enjoy it as much as I did.

Anyway, I purchased this as a paperback because it was on sale and I was in the mood for a light, fluffy story for chicks. I also couldn’t help myself because the cover is so cute (I admit, I purchase books because of covers quite a bit). And overall, I am so happy I did. I plan to buy more of the books in the near future (I have two more books of hers to read first).

Bridesmaids Jane Costello 9781847390875 Books Reviews

Boy was this book funny. The 1/2 to 2/3 was hilarious. The serious emotional stuff and drama didn't come until close to the end.

Evie is a journalist, who at 27, has never been in love. She's the bridesmaid at three weddings this year and she's not really sure she can handle the duty. Evie's single and been the one to breakup with all over boyfriends. She meets handsome, charming Jack at a wedding and is extremely disappointed to find out he's dating a friend. She continually runs into him, making it harder to resist him.

I loved Evie's dialogues. She was witty, sarcastic, and funny most of the time. And even when she was dissembling or embarrassed, it was still quite heart pulling because it could have been anyone of us in her shoes, while being funny as well.

I do wish the emotional drama had been avoided altogether, if not somehow dealt with better. It sort of left a bitter taste in my mouth, especially since it was really focused on towards the end.

This is the 2nd book of Jane Costello's that I've read. I am now even more eager than ever to get my hands on her other books!
And no, that is not to say that the movie is based on the book. They just share the same title.

I feel like I'm starting to sound like a broken record when it comes to reviewing Jane Costello's books, but I can't help it, because - to borrow an English phrase - they're just SO BLOODY GOOD!

I love ALL the characters in her books. Like ALL of them. Yes, there's always a bad guy and a good guy - and by guy I refer here to possible male and/or female characters - but even those, you tend to love - in a love/hate sort of way.

Who couldn't love Valentina, who is self-obsessed, and hilariously charming in a Scarlett O'Hara sort of way? Or Charlotte, who I bet so many women shared a connection with as she went through her inner turmoils, ups and downs, and endured so much talk from so many people, which pushed her into committing the one mortal sin that could break the sister code? Or Georgia? Modest, funny, down-to-earth Georgia? Or last, but certainly not least, Evie? Good old Evie, who thought she suffered from commitment issues, when her only ailment was the fact that she just hadn't found the right guy yet...that is until Jack. Sigh. Jack. The embodiment of perfect male sculpted into a fictional - of course - character in a book, making it absolutely complete.

The only part I really didn't like and found unnecessarily silly was the scene when Evie felt forced to make up that boyfriend story for Jack's benefit in a moment of panic. Honestly, it seemed childish and a little immature for a twenty-seven year old. It also felt like Costello was trying to create a conflict for no reason, when the Beth thing was way better executed in my opinion.

All in all, Jane Costello has yet to disappoint me with one of her books. And my only regret is that I've finished reading all of them, and now have to wait for her next novel to come out - which won't be until 2012.
Love her books!!!
