Sinopse original:
When it comes to love and marriage, Josie Flynn knows what’s
right…
For everyone but herself…
After her marriage to Damien ended in disaster, Londoner Josie Flynn – thirtysomething and single again – is flying across the ocean to her American cousin’s ‘big mistake’ wedding. In her present ‘love stinks’ frame of mind, the last person she expects to be seated next to on the flight is someone like Matt Jarvis. A recently divorced rock journalist, Matt is sensitive, good-looking and remarkably attentive – and before their plane touches down, Josie’s smitten. So how can she hope to convince her cousin to cut and run when Josie is all ready to leap into love again – with a stranger, no less, who might be just another Mr Totally Wrong in Mr Seductively Right’s clothing?
The point is rendered moot, of course, once they land in New York and she and Matt go their separate ways. After all Josie’s got prenuptial confabs to worry about and that dreaded lilac chiffon bridesmaid’s dress to wear. But Dante himself couldn’t have dreamed up the hell this wedding is proving to be – and when her dream hunk reappears and throws himself into the mix, Josie finds herself wondering how she – or any unattached modern woman – can hope to survive the new romantic rules of the twenty-first century.

Opinião:
Duas palavras para definir este livro: grande seca. Vou começar
pelos pontos positivos:
o-gato-que-antigamente-era-conhecido-por-prince (é este o nome do
gato...), as cenas dele são muito engraçadas; a mãe da
protagonista os diálogos dela são malucos, infelizmente estas
personagens aparecem pouco... Supostamente isto deveria ser uma
comédia urbana, mas de comédia muito pouco. A escrita é simples, a
autora optou por dar “voz” a diferentes personagens, pessoalmente
gosto. O grande senão deste livro, apesar da ser original: os
protagonista conhecem-se no inicio do livro, numa viagem Londres -
Nova Iorque, apanham uma bebedeira, decidem ir visitar a estátua da
Liberdade, e marcam um encontro, que acaba por não se realizar.
Voltam a ver-se nas ultimas páginas do livro, para caírem nos
braços um do outro, com declarações de amor eterno, quando não se
conhecem e andaram a maioria do livro nos braços de outros,
sobretudo ele que dorme mesmo com outra personagem, ela não fez o
mesmo, porque ele entretanto fugiu com uma prima dela. Para mim não
existe romance nenhum, e muitas coisas não tem lógica nenhuma. O
futuro ex-marido dela, patético, como vilão uma nulidade. A intriga
relacionada com a prima achei infantil. Esta decidi casar porque quer
ser mãe, e escolhe uma pessoa totalmente diferente dela. Casa e
depois foge com um ex para depois voltar, e ele aceita, porque no
fundo acredita que ela é “boa” demais para ele.... Apeteceu-me
andar à estalada com os personagens. Para esquecer.
Nota: 1/5
