Loading... The Wedding Girl (1999)by Madeleine Wickham
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) whakaora | Mar 5, 2023 |  Milly is engaged to Simon, the son of the immensely wealthy Harry Pinnacle. Her mother couldn’t be more excited, and the “wedding of the century” is being planned. But Milly has a huge secret that is likely to derail all plans. I found Milly hugely irritating. What a complete idiot! She’s prone to go off on an emotional tirade, and burst into tears and just want to put her head in the sand – over and over and over again. Simon is a stubborn fool, just as prone to emotional reactions and to speaking without thinking – or listening. Still, despite two lead characters I would have absolutely no use for in real life, I found this an entertaining, somewhat comedic, romp. Milly’s not the only one with a secret, and if there’s any lesson to be learned it’s that secrets always get revealed. Katherine Kellgren does a fine job of performing the audio book. She kept the pace up and I loved how she interpreted Milly’s mother!

 2.5 out of 5 stars. *sigh* This was my first time reading a 'Madeleine Wickham' novel, and since I have read all of her as 'Sophie Kinsella’, I thought these would be just as good. But I don't know ... I guess the way some of the characters decided take care of their secrets just rubbed me the wrong way or something, since I had to skim through some of the chapters just to keep reading, if I didn't skim through I would probably have stopped reading the book altogether. I will say I did like the ending and how the characters finally resolved their issues, and I loved the letter that Rupert read it was very sweet. In addition, I did like the fact that this book was about how to grow up and come to turns with who you truly are as a person, and once you do to stick by what you believe in. Therefore, it had a good message but the plot was a little boring and irritating for me ... Review By: From Me to You ...

To have and to hold takes on a whole new meaning when one bride's past catches up with her and brings the present crashing down. Milly is engaged to Simon--who is wealthy, serious, and believes her to be perfect. Milly's secret history behind a previous marriage to an Oxford homosexual is locked away so securely she has almost persuaded herself that it doesn't exist--until, only four days before her elaborate wedding.
