Often, I find myself removed from the characters, so I was very pleased to discover that Isabel was one who stuck with me, and from whom I wanted more. McQueen's writing is very much in the vein of Sophie Kinsella's Shop-a-holic series, but in no way derivative or repetitive.
I enjoyed getting to know Isabel, and look forward to more from McQueen. All in all, it's a perfect book to pick up for some light reading. May 27, Eve rated it liked it.

She has to deal with celebrity clients, dramatic brides and families while she dreams of a spontaneous proposal and plans to have a family while her boyfriend would rather discuss mortgages and never approach the subject of marriage.

Apr 07, Esther rated it it was ok. Had a really tough time 'getting into' this book, was bored out of my mind for quite a few chapters and it really didnt help that i found Isabel's childishly perky personality very annoying. Almost all her problems stemmed from not thinking things through and just jumping blindly into anything and everything. I get that there will be people that will love her optimistic personality but for me it was tiresome and cringe-worthy. So yeah there were funny bits but because of her being a "clutz" in a Had a really tough time 'getting into' this book, was bored out of my mind for quite a few chapters and it really didnt help that i found Isabel's childishly perky personality very annoying.

Jan 11, Divya rated it liked it Shelves: More two and a half stars than three, and I'm kind. I didn't read the first two books of the Isabel Bookbinder series - in fact, I pretty much picked up this one because it was only five bucks and I was in the need of a book to read during a long travel with the train. Of course, it's chick-lit, so if you're not into that kind of novels, you will surely find yourself bored by it.
I do appreciate a nice chick-lit from time to time when I need to clear my mind, but it has to be written fairly good a More two and a half stars than three, and I'm kind. I do appreciate a nice chick-lit from time to time when I need to clear my mind, but it has to be written fairly good and mostly has to have a protagonist which I like and may identify myself with to a certain point.
This, however, was not the case with this book. While it's not badly written, Isabel itself just didn't enthusiasm or even entertain me and I often found myself thinking that she acts strange and in a really weird way. She changes her mind frequently, but doesn't seem to know or at least I didn't got the reasons why. What bothered me most was that so many plots and storylines were built and then, all of the sudden, brought to a very quick end in the last few pages.
Was this seriously the end with him? And the reason why Isabel's Mom made such a secret around her visit was simply that she went to the doctor for John? I feel like there was potential for a lot more and maybe too many different storylines. Apart from that, the book wasn't actually this bad; it's light lecture, easy to read in a sitting and ideal to have a break when you don't feel like doing something that requires much concentration.
Overall, I don't regret bying it because it was on sale - but I wouldn't pay the full prize for it. She just cannot avoid wedding disasters. Not a good thing for an aspiring wedding planner.

It's chock full of really interesting characters that the author wove together perfectly. The heroine's hard work at becoming a wedding planner was at times painful, embarrassing, and funny.
