My Thoughts On The Book:  I have read  most of the Year of Weddings series so far and I have to say this one was one of my most favorites.  I laughed out loud, could not put it down, felt as if I was right there in each scene.  The only problem I had with this book is that I did not want it to end on page 100.  I wanted this to be a full length book...not just a novella.  I cannot wait to read more by Katie Ganshert.  She is excellent at character development and what a storyteller!  Loved it!
