For Better, For Worse by Carole Matthews

Newly single Josie Flynn does not want to participate in a wedding. After finding her husband has been cheating, she unfortunately still finds herself en route from London to New York to be in her cousin’s wedding. It isn’t all bad though, after meeting Matt Jarvis on the flight. The cute aspiring rock journalist asks her out on a date, and while Josie is relieved that she can still be found attractive, she is stood up and left alone at a New York restaurant, once again crushing her self confidence.
Matt Jarvis just missed meeting Josie at that restaurant, a date that he was highly looking forward to. He is determined to find her, but with little information to go on, madness and humor ensues as he tries to track down the elusive Josie. He even crashes a wedding that he thought was Josie’s cousins, as he was only going off the first name of the bride.
For Better, For Worse by Carole Matthews isn’t my favorite novel by the English author. The plot starts off strong, with good descriptions of all the main players, but as the time goes on, it seems just too unbelievable. The humor can give you a good laugh every now and then, but even some of those scenarios are too silly to believe- trying to smuggle a duck with a diamond ring in its stomach through the airport- is just one example. It is still an entertaining read, though Matthews has definitely written better.
