Amanda's Wedding
Amanda's Wedding | Jenny Colgan
6 posts | 10 read | 2 to read
Melanie and Fran are two charmingly wisecracking young Londoners who simply can't believe it when their old schoolfriend Amanda, Satan's own PR agent, manages to get herself hitched to a laird (Scottish for lord). Who cares that Fraser McConnel has worn the same ratty Converse sneakers for years and that his castle is really a pile of rubble -- all the social -climbing queen of preen cares about is the title she'll soon have. She's got Fraser by the nuptials, and she has no intention of letting go. Gentle, decent Fraser is completely innocent Amanda's wiles, so Mel and Fran, still smarting from Amanda's evil misdeeds years ago in school, join forces with Fraser's adorable younger brother Angus to sabotage the mismatch of the century. Between fighting off the attentions of a love-crazed accountant, dealing with a ne'er-do-well rockstar wannabe boyfriend, keeping Fran's deadly maneuvers with the opposite sex under control, finding herself at the heart of a bachelor party controversy, consuminglarge quantities of alcohol, and throwing out hysterical barbs that would make Oscar Wilde proud, Mel will break some hearts and win over those of readers by the score...all of whom are certain to enjoy the mayhem -- and hilarious mishaps -- in store in "Amanda's Wedding!"

I have fun randomly choosing a Jenny Colgan book as I read down her catalog. I love the settings and don‘t mind when some reads garner a so-so rating. But this one (2002), was mean-spirited from the fist page to the last. Aside from the two brothers none of these characters were what anyone would want in a friend. It may have been inspired by Bridgette Jones‘ Diary (1999), but the delivery didn‘t work at all for me. Pretty cover though!

Mehso-so

Definitely not a favorite, halfway through I nearly #DNF. It was juvenile and had some offensive descriptions (was 1990 really 30 years ago!). I kept going because this was her 1st book and I hoped it would get better and it did. Charming ending made up for the problems along the way, though I‘m not sure I‘d recommend this one. #Booked2021 #bakedgoodsonthecover #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft
