Book Review: Gone with the Wedding by Laura Briggs

gone with the weddingI received a copy of Gone with the Wedding by Laura Briggs in exchange for an honest review. When Amy Pontelle is offered to have a Southern Belle wedding courtesy of a popular magazine, she has to jump at the chance. She is engaged, of course, but she is also a romance writer who happens to love anything Gone with the Wind and can’t wait to be Scarlett for a day. But the weeks leading up to the wedding aren’t what Amy envision. Now she finds herself questioning everything surrounding her big day…including her groom.

Gone with the Wedding is another wedding book that I just couldn’t say no to. I loved the idea of a period wedding, and was practically salivating myself over the dress Amy gets to wear and the corsets and the hoop skirts – I love it! Poor Amy was just a mixed up girl. It was nice to see her finally start to question something that probably should have been questioned a lot earlier. It seemed that her and her fiancé had not much in common, nor did it seem that her friends and family really appreciated them together either. I did wonder how it got to the point of a wedding at times, but that’s all right. It still didn’t take away from me enjoying the journey along with Amy.
