The Wedding Girl - Sophie Kinsella/Madeleine Wickham
At eighteen, Milly was up for anything. So when a friend asked her to marry him just so that he could stay in the country, she didn't hesitate. To make it seem real she dressed up in wedding finery and posed on the steps of the registry office for photographs.
Now, ten years later, Milly is a very different person. Engaged to Simon, who is good-looking, wealthy and adores her, she is about to have the biggest and most elaborate wedding imaginable, all mastermined by her mother. Nobody knows about her first marriage, so it's almost as though it never happened - isn't it?
But with only four days to go, it looks as though Milly's past is going to catch up with her. Can she sort things out before her fairytale wedding collapses around her? How can she tell Simon? And worse still, how can she tell her mother...?
I started this book after my last book review and finished it halfway though my holiday, last Wednesday. I read most of it that day and it's not a bad book. It took a while to get into the book but it had amazing twists and turns in the book which did actually shock me.
However, I don't know if it is just my copy of the book or if something is wrong with all of them, but this book is the most grammatically incorrect book ever. Seriously. I am used to reading books and spotting one or two mistakes within the whole book but no, this book has loads. Literally every 4 or 5 pages there is a mistake. Wether that is a word which doesnt make sense within the sentance, a word after a fullstop which doesn't start with a capital letter, names which don't start with capital letters and also speech marks which have been placed in the wrong place. This literally ruined the book for me. I am impressed that I actually enjoyed the book because at every mistake I nearly screamed. My best friend is annoyed with the mistakes in this book and she hasn't even read it, she just put up with me complaining about each one.
This isn't a great book review because my main concentration on the book is the grammar...if it's just my book (which would be weird...) or if it's just one set of printed copies (still slightly weird...) but I can't find any reviews of the book online which mention the grammar...which is weird...
The book in itself is good and I do recommend it. The twists are great and I did actually gasp at a couple of them. But for me, the grammar ruined it...
