THIS. THIS. This is Sophie Kinsella!!! (yes, I met her and it was amazing and I am still going to refer to her by her pseudonym.) Hilarious, absolutely baffling, dramatic, with idiotic characters you can't help but adore, some super sweet romances, some great familial relationships, UGH YES. My only problem was keeping track of all the male characters.

My flatmate's cat was spooning with me when I realized that sister and father-in-law-to-be were involved and I yelled out "NOOO" and the cat went running. She was more upset than me. ( )

Book on CD narrated by Katherine Kellgren

Milly is engaged to Simon, the son of the immensely wealthy Harry Pinnacle. Her mother couldn’t be more excited, and the “wedding of the century” is being planned. But Milly has a huge secret that is likely to derail all plans.

I found Milly hugely irritating. What a complete idiot! She’s prone to go off on an emotional tirade, and burst into tears and just want to put her head in the sand – over and over and over again. Simon is a stubborn fool, just as prone to emotional reactions and to speaking without thinking – or listening.

Still, despite two lead characters I would have absolutely no use for in real life, I found this an entertaining, somewhat comedic, romp. Milly’s not the only one with a secret, and if there’s any lesson to be learned it’s that secrets always get revealed.

Katherine Kellgren does a fine job of performing the audio book. She kept the pace up and I loved how she interpreted Milly’s mother! ( )

For all the fluff of this book, it really had a lot to say about homosexuality, being single and pregnant. But the main theme about being true to yourself and honest about your feelings comes across very well. Milly was almost too flaky, Simon was not developed well enough to truly understand him. The mother and godmother were way over the top. ( )

Tijdens een heerlijke zomer in Oxford raakt de achttienjarige studente Milly bevriend met Rupert en zijn Amerikaanse vriend Allan. Als Rupert haar voorstelt om met Allan te trouwen zodat die in Engeland kan blijven, aarzelt Milly geen moment. Na de formaliteiten poseert ze in haar goedkope trouwjurk lachend op de trappen van het stadhuis voor foto¿s.
Tien jaar later is Milly verloofd met de rijke Simon die prijs stelt op een grootse bruiloft met alles erop en eraan. Milly heeft haar geheime huwelijk nooit aan iemand verteld. Met nog maar vier dagen te gaan haalt het verleden haar onherroepelijk in. Hoe kan ze Simon en haar moeder vertellen dat ze al getrouwd is?

2.5 out of 5 stars. *sigh* This was my first time reading a 'Madeleine Wickham' novel, and since I have read all of her as 'Sophie Kinsella’, I thought these would be just as good. But I don't know ... I guess the way some of the characters decided take care of their secrets just rubbed me the wrong way or something, since I had to skim through some of the chapters just to keep reading, if I didn't skim through I would probably have stopped reading the book altogether. I will say I did like the ending and how the characters finally resolved their issues, and I loved the letter that Rupert read it was very sweet. In addition, I did like the fact that this book was about how to grow up and come to turns with who you truly are as a person, and once you do to stick by what you believe in. Therefore, it had a good message but the plot was a little boring and irritating for me ...
