Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was an amazingly funny read that fan's of chick lit should surly appreciate and those readers that may not naturally gravitate to chick lit will find this a worthwhile read that offers both a quirky look at travel and romance.
This book is set up in journal, and e-mail format and the story is told through these formats via Jane Harris, and Cal Langdon as well as the secondary characters of Mark Levin, and Holly Caputo. Together these four will take us on a roller coaster ride of laughs on the way to an elopement in Italy of Mark and Holly. There is never a dull moment on the road to romance, and the final destination of matrimony will be no different, especially with Cal and Jane along for the ride. Cal is a cynic from the word go and does not believe in romance or love. Love is a chemical imbalance in the brain as far as he's concerned and the concept of people staying together for forty or fifty years proves that there is something very wrong with them. Jane on the other hand is a total romantic and knows that Mark and Holly are meant to be together no matter what. If this means that she has to stay in contact with Cal in order to prevent him from sabotaging not only the most romantic thing she has ever witnessed, but also ruin the first time she's ever been out of the good 'ol U.S. of A.. Everything is going great until against her recommendations (Jane) part of the wedding party (okay, Mark and Holly) partakes of some of the local raw shellfish and they find themselves laid low by food poisoning. Now Jane and Cal must ride to the rescue and pose as the "totally in love" couple in order to complete the paperwork needed in order for Mark and Holly to get married in Italy. What follows is Jane and Cal get a chance to know each other, and they both realize that the other is not a zany or bad as they thought. Could there be a happily ever after for these two?
This was a fun read with plenty of laugh out loud moments. Ms. Cabot is one of my favorite authors in this new genre and her latest read is semi-autobiographical as this story is based on her own experience when she eloped to Italy with her husband. After all truth is stranger then fiction at times, and yes, great material for an entertaining read. This was a fast paced read that although it is a light hearted read she does tackle the hard issue of commitment phobic people, and the other issue of perceptions and how these can be hard as well. This is defiantly a character driven story and all four characters are endearing and likeable which only adds to the story. Ms. Cabot is an extremely talented and creative author and her latest effort is well worth picking up.
