This is a funny, smart chick lit book. 17 weddings to attend in 6 months would be overwhelming for anyone, but Joy and her boyfriend do not believe in marriage so it is even harder for her. The weddings she must attend include her mother, her father, her brother, and 5 of her best friends!!! She manages to make it through but it changes her in a way that is unexpected to her as well as the reader. This is not a cookie-cutter chick lit story and it does not have the ending one may expect. I enjoyed reading it though and her best friend Henry made me crack up laughing more than once! :) ( )

Wedding Season was a good enough story... Engaging enough, interesting enough with a plot that moved forward fairly steadily without dwelling too long on any one issue. Other than that, there wasn't a lot to recommend it. The main character was somewhat unsympathetic. She was judgmental and often very closed-minded, but what worked about that was the reactions of the other characters. It wasn't merely tolerated by all the characters - she suffered real consequences due to her faults.

All in all, I did enjoy the book. It wasn't one of the best I've ever read, but I might pick it up again someday if I'm thinking a lot about weddings. Otherwise, it's probably best suited for an on-the-plane book. Read it once and forget about it. ( )

Joy Silverman's story of 17 weddings in six months and her own struggle with the meaning of marriage, generally and in her life. Joy is so out of control in portions of this book, determined to sabotage herself in the most reasonable way as chick lit heroines so often do, burying her confusion and trying desperately to do The Right Thing. Not as much philosophically interesting as interpersonally interesting, this book turns out to be a voyage with a colorful cast about what it means to believe in hope and love, and to be true to oneself.

I bought this book based on the synopsis, and that it was written in the style of Jane Austen, which I now regret. As a big Austen fan I am deeply offended that this book would even be held in the same category with Pride & Prejudice. The back of the book leads the reader to believe that it will be a witty, funny, & intelligent read, but I'm here to tell you it's not!

After reading this book all I felt was cheated! I wasted my precious time reading this awful book when I could've been reading the back of a cereal box instead. ( )
