The Groom Wore Plaid by Gayle Callen

Overplotted and underdeveloped. Still, the cover is kind of pretty.

If you need an excuse to get totally drunk, take a sip each time this book makes you feeling like whimpering in pain.

It has interesting characters, some intense and difficult conflicts, but the execution makes it feel more ordinary than it should be.

The story I want is the one that the author chooses to keep underdeveloped here. Hmmph!

How old is this book? 9? Sure acts like it.

Non-stop communication breakdown, big misunderstanding, hysterical antics, and cruel behavior – all in one story, just the way you like it.

The poor hero and heroine never get enough space here to develop beyond annoying and lost, respectively.

In the still of the night, the dim sounds of a saxophone tug at the sadness buried inside my heart…

If I’m that desperate, it’s because I want to use a pickax on that Suzanna. And the hero too. And her sister. And his mother. And… and…

Eh, for a book with such a title, this one is pretty tough to love.
