In the beginning I really struggled to stay with this book, I really disliked Elizabeth, she came across as selfish and self absorbed. I found her about face into a nice person too quick and not really believable. However, once she accepted Tiffany as her "adopted daughter" the book picked up. I loved Buck, he is everything a woman is looking for in a guy, a little too good to be true though. In the end it was a really enjoyable read.

I thought, from reading the overview on the back of the book, I could get into this light hearted romp about a newly 30 woman wanting a wedding NOW! Her grandma left Molly a dream wedding fund in her will, and its burning a hole in her pocket. She hires a gay escort and they hatch a whirlwind courtship plan, with the ultimate goal that would end with the "fiancee" leaving her at the altar, because then she could keep the gifts and have her reception. What I thought would be a fun read, turned into a treatise on a self absorbed woman. I found the whole family annoying the way they were written. The writing was almost frantic in trying to show action "and then I had to ..." "I ran over here" ....it was a list of action that was meant to fold you into the frantic life Molly must get ready for her ultimate day the constant droppings of action felt forced. Instead of a gentle telling, it was more like massive ploppings, and I just couldn't get into the story. The best friend story was weird. Of course they're going to get together in the end, but the back and forth, I miss you, can't we see each other, get away you don't understand, I don't need this, dialogue just had me wanting to stop reading the story.I don't have much to recommend the story. I liked the hired fiancee, wish I had one of those in my life.… (plus d'informations)

Not as good as I thought it would be, got bogged down in the excruciating details. I was horrified how she treated an old friend who had died in an accident and the daughter left behind. There were some hilarious spots however, which redeemed it somewhat.
