After reading a bunch of dark, heavy books lately, I wanted something light and "fluffy" to read and this chick lit book was perfect for that! It was actually REALLY good, too!
Erin, Casey and Stella become unlikely friends. They live in the same town but didn't really know each other. They all happened to get married the same weekend and used the same pastor. A few months after their wedding day, they get the surprising news: the pastor died before signing the marriage licenses and the three ladies are NOT actually married.
Erin is a doctor and has the mother-in-law from HELL who moves in and tries to wreck her marriage. Casey's husband almost left her at the altar. And Stella finds out on her wedding night that her new husband had a vasectomy ten years ago. Now all three ladies are wondering whether to walk away and start anew. They aren't legally married anyways...
The book was fun, lighthearted, relatable, funny and gave me the warm-fuzzies. I will definitely read more by this author.

This book was EXACTLY what I've been looking for! A light, fun, goodhearted chick lit romp that's easy to read, fun to follow and enjoy. This is my second Beth Kendrick book and I can't wait to read more!
The story takes place in Alden, MA and follows the three storylines of Stella, Casey & Erin. The characters are great, easy to root for and get to know. Renee is the ultimate queen bee diva enemy and Cash is a great surprise hero. ;) I wouldn't mind a sequel of this book in a "Where Are They Now?" kind of thing. There's some drama (the main point of the story) but Beth makes it light and enjoyable to dig into. I could've easily read this in one setting and in fact, read most of it this weekend!
This book definitely gets a big thumbs up for me for being exactly the type of book I needed - nothing heavy, long-winded or too much of anything. I haven't had much luck in good books this year but in the two of Ms. Kendrick's I've read in 2015, I definitely haven't been disappointed!

Super fun, fast read - very much classic chick lit with all the misunderstandings and cute, funny relationships. Love that she threw in a dog and the holidays to add a little something extra, too.

This novel has three should-be brides; Stella, Casey and Erin whom were all "married" on Labor Day weekend. A few weeks after their nupitals, just when the "what did I do?" questions start flying a letter arrives telling each of them that they are in fact, not married. Now all three have a loophole and they don't have to be married after all if they don't want to be and get to skip the messy divorce. Stella has to decide if she wants to remain married to a man whom got her blotto to the point of passing out to slip in the fact he had a vasectomy so he didn't feel guilty when the ex-au pair finds out she will not be a mother - to his children anyways. Casey has to find out if its worth shoving Nick towards the alter again - once was hard enough. Erin has to decide if she is willing to love, honor and cherish her mother-in-law for as long as they both shall live, because evidently her faux-husband lost his spine when they said I do. Hilarity ensues when Cash, an adopted stray, is introduced into the story and follows through acting out the girls' fantasies on their foes.
I loved this book to the point that I didn't put it down after I started reading it. Being married before I really could understand where the girls were coming from - there are just some things you do not see from the unmarried side of the tracks. I plan on checking out more of this author's books!

So silly. So Beachy. So perfect for a plane ride from paradise to gray, rainy skies.
My biggest issue is the three voices that alternate to tell the story are really similar. The characters are different, but the voices are the same. I kept having to remind myself who was telling the story.
There should really be a separate star system for beach reads. It's hard to compare this to say, Pride and Prejudice. In the world of beach reads, it's a 3.

For a quick read, this book is what you would want. I enjoyed every one of the girls and how they overcame their problems that they both dealt with at the same time. Erin's MIL annoyed the heck out of me and almost made me stop reading this book. But, I held on and in the end, I was quite surprised and enjoyed it!
