I recently finished Wedding Day by Catherine Alliott. It was pretty good. There were a few loose ends that were tied up a little too neatly. Namely the main character conveniently getting out of her upcoming wedding by her fiance letting her off the hook and then moving to South America! Yeah, that could happen. I did like the main character, even though she was a bit of a pushover throughout most of the book. I also never got the amazing chemistry between the main character and her love interest that seemed obvious to everyone in the book, but not to me as I was reading it. Can you tell I've already forgotten the names of the characters? I did actually like it, even though I don't seem to have many nice things to say.
Right now I'm reading two books. I'm almost finished with my book club book A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. Unfortunately, as I was about a third of the way through it all the allegations of him fabricating large parts of the book surfaced. I read the entire Smoking Gun article on it, and it was a long one. Now as I'm reading parts of it, I just get irritated and think about what a big liar he is! It might just be me, but he's also very arrogant and for someone who supposedly needs as much help as he does it seems actually stupid for him not to take the advice of people who have been through it and overcome their addictions. He is quick to call bullshit on other people and other people's beliefs, but seems 100% certain that his way is the right way. Anyway, it should make for some very interesting discussion on Monday night!
The other book I'm reading is The Party Season by Sarah Mason. This is the third book by Sarah Mason that I've read recently and I really like them. I'm not too far along in this one, but I'm really enjoying it. One thing I like is that I know something is going to happen with Isabel and Simon, but I have no idea what! Most books are so easy to predict. Also, Isabel's roommate Dom is involved with someone, but I don't know who. My wild guess is Isabel's sister, but I'm not sure about that.
