On my winter vacation, I made time to do a lot of reading. The day-long travel to and from British Columbia on each end of the trip gave me a lot of time to devour pages (especially since I don’t sleep well on planes). Thus, I was able to finish “The Hunger Games” trilogy and a book themed around a destination wedding, “Eat, Drink, and Be Married,” which I was sent late last year by the author, Rebecca Bloom to review.
Obvioulsy, I LOVED all three of the “Hunger Games!” And “Eat, Drink, and Be Married” was definitely a funny little read. I especially liked the realistic dialogue between characters. It’s how we girls talk to each other, and the book included very real-world relationship scenerios. The first chapter certainly caught me off guard with said “real world scenerios,” in fact. It’s not how I expected a cute-sy wedding book to start. But it was cool like that.
All in all, it’s a quick, just-for-fun read. And I thought it might be a cute idea for a bridesmaids’ goodie bag—or just for some relaxing summer reading.
Here is the synopsis:
“When college friends Kate, Nina and Zoë take holiday from their busy schedules on opposite coasts to join their former roommate, Hannah, for her wedding in Lake Tahoe, they not only bring suitcases packed with what-not-to- wear bridesmaid dresses, but baggage of a more emotional kind. Supported by a variety of eclectic characters determined to wreck havoc on their carefully organized lives, each woman is forced to come to terms with her past before she walks down the aisle. Zoë must learn how to reveal a vulnerability beneath her bravado before she can finally open her heart. Kate needs to reclaim her identity before she can regain her strut. Nina must heal her own inner child so she can provide for another. Hannah needs to release a ghost in order to recover her spirit. A bottle of booze, a host of laughs, a hankie or two worth of tears, and seventy-two hours among those who know and love them the most is the perfect recipe for four women to eat, drink, and be married.”
