Not Colgan's best effort = far in, still barely readable sleeze and drunken falling outs.

The balance was barely passable drunken and lost love repetition.

One laugh.

Two improbable surprises. (

Cozy, but was disappointed so bad by the ending. It just didn't make sense to me at allllll. (

I have read a few more current books by Jenny Colgan and loved them. I found her first book as a stand-alone and was thrilled. BUT, what it taught me was how an author can truly grow. This was a true chick-lit with no real depth, a lot of swearing, and a lot of sleeping around. You practically have to keep a spreadsheet of the names of the men and women and who they are with at any time. (

I'll say first that I really like Jenny Colgan. I follow her on Twitter and she is funny and cool and I really like reading her thoughts. I have also read and liked quite a few of her books. They are usually light and frothy and just very easy to read and enjoy.

This one really missed the mark for me. I only looked it up after I read it, but according to Wikipedia, this is her oldest novel - published in the year 2000.

It doesn't actually feel that long ago to me - but this book really does feel dated. I would suspect if Jenny had the chance to change some things about - she might - it is not super offensive - but there were a few moments in it that I felt were pretty jarring in today's world.

The Novel also suffers from a lack of likable characters. It is really hard to sympathize with the main character who is really a mess and pretty mean to all those around her. Then there is just a cavalcade of really flawed people around her. I read it on audio and the reader was good so I did get through it - but it really lacked the charm that Colgan's later books so adeptly showcase. (

All the right elements are in place - fun loving pair of friends, love lost and love found, miscues and miscommunications. But.....yes, there's a but. I know and love Colgan's current works. You can absolutely tell the difference between then and now. The characters in Amanda's Wedding are not likeable. They're often crude and rude, not at all what I want in a warm, fuzzy chick lit read. I want to be on board with the characters, but found I wasn't on board or on side with Mel at all. Usually in this genre, I feel like I could be friends with the lead character. Quirky is good. But, these are just mean girls. The only characters I liked were the McConald brothers - and I had a hard time fathoming why they liked Mel and Fran. I did indeed finish the book just to see the ending. Yes this was a first book - and it shows. But....you can see the potential. Colgan's writing now is warm and wonderful and oh so good. So, if you've not read Colgan, pick up one of those later books - you'll love it. (

Most of the really messy things in life don't actually have a beginning, they kind of bear down on you over the years, like the consequence of not cleaning your bathroom floor (stickiness, cholera, et cetera).
