I have to admit that part of the draw to this book is that it so mirrors how my husband and I met. The wedding chaos that so strikes other reviewers as too absurd to be real is surprisingly close the wedding chaos that took place all those years ago. Even the characters in our own romance had strange names!
I could relate on so many levels to Rosie, and not just for the reasons listed above. Her discussion on wombs was dead on, and her slightly skewed outlook on life made me want to be her friend.
Doug is funny, charming, and finally growing up (it only took 40 years!). His apology for the entirety of the male gender endeared him to me greatly.
If you're looking for a fun (quick) contemporary romance, this book is it. Not only is it well written, as I've found all Kasey Michaels books to be) but you can rest more easily knowing that it there's at least one couple out here in the real world who has lived through the experience and can attest to how (scarily) accurate it is in some places, how fun it was at the time, and what great memories it gave us (not to mention a great story to tell our kids).
