A cute story, but short stories/novellas aren't for me. ( )

This is a short story, though you may not realize it if you don't read the cover closely. The problem here, as I find with many short stories, is that there is a lack of time to develop the story or the characters.

The idea of a proxy wedding is a unique one to get two characters together, but I personally can't see agreeing to be a stand in for my best friend if she'd only met her supposed soul-mate 6 months before (at a weekend in Vegas and then apparently been separated from her "soul-mate" since).

I half-expected the author to have the two proxies married by the end of the story though I am glad she didn't. ( )
