Ratings and reviews

Very easy reading as there are three stories, linked by the same wedding dress. Suzanne, Bella and Mandy are the three main characters in each story. Suzanne is the first bride and probably rushing a bit into getting married to someone that she definitely has a few doubts about, even if she's trying to ignore them. Until of course the 'crazy ex-girlfriend' supposedly starts leaving notes about how she shouldn't be marrying him. Is there more than just jealousy to the notes? I did think Suzanne was far too trusting of him, when he was obviously hiding things, but she figured it out in the end. Bella's story was linked in through the accident on the roller coaster that we hear about in the news during the first story. Bella is out on a friend's hen-do and tragedy strikes on the roller-coaster, changing Bella's life forever, but also bringing a new person into it that brings her eventual happiness. Mandy is the granddaughter of the last bride, a quite different story, but so lovely! Her grandmother is getting married again, but her son doesn't approve, so Mandy helps her organise it, and again the wedding dress, bought this time from a charity shop, features. Very cleverly linked stories and each story was very enjoyable.
