I could not wait for this book to come out and devoured it in two days flat. It's a fun read and it's refreshing to hear the word vegan so often in literature and to catch the subtle comments on animal cruelty. Definitely not preachy vegan style though. I'm definitely buying both of these as gifts for everyone!

Skinny Bitch Gets Hitched by Kim Barnouin, is the charming sequel to vegan romance novel Skinny Bitch In Love, and a further spinoff of the Skinny Bitch vegan cookbooks.
As a result of appearing on a reality-show cookoff toward the end of the first book, heroine Clementine has won the start-up capital for her new vegan eatery, Clementine's No-Crap Cafe, and her sidekick, Sara, the obligatory Fat Friend, has started dating the show's abrasive host. Sara has an underwhelming co-host role on her boyfriend's cook-off show, which at first seems like a step towards her dream of playing the sassy Fat Friend on a TV show, but is just another way poor Sara is settling.

I have been a huge fan of the Skinny Bitch books from the first, The Skinny Bitch Cookbook. Skinny Bitch in Love was a fabulous start to getting to know the world of vegans in a world where eating animals is a normal thing. Somehow Kim Barnouin is able to tell a story without me feeling like this is a bunch of rhetoric being shoved down my throat. She always have some great info about veganism and how being on that kind of diet can be fabulous for you and makes the food sound wonderful!
And although these books due surround food, they are mostly about characters. Clementine Cooper is just fabulous. I love her even when she’s doing something that I don’t like. Although in this book it’s mainly about what Zach is doing, or in this case, NOT doing. The tension is high and it’s not a good tension. Kim Barnouin actually had me worried so much that quite a few times I caught myself chewing on my nails!
Clem is facing some important gal themes and I loved every minute of them. It’s funny how some girls always want that ultimate wedding and then others secretly do but say they don’t, and then some just want to elope! The theme is there though, this is all about weddings and how Clem and her friends feel about them and of course the ups and downs of planning a wedding and meeting the new fam!
Funnily enough I laughed through quite a bit of the drama, and then cried through some of it. I mean seriously, Kim knows how to bring out the emotions, the full spectrum of them! You don’t HAVE to read the first to get a good feeling for the characters but if you want the background, I definitely recommend them. And if you’re like me and curious about being a vegan or even a vegitarien, do yourself a favor and go grab the Skinny Bitch Diet cookbook!

Clementine, owner of a vegan restaurant, is marrying the man of her dreams...who happens to own a steakhouse. Throw in a mother-in-lawzilla, who insists on planning the entire wedding, and has extremely different tastes than the bride, and you have a great story. Lots of laughs and a great storyline make this a must-read for all those chick lit lovers out there.

“So everything’s okay between us? I mistook a sun-dried tomato for a sweet pepper today because of you.”
He smiled and kissed me again. “Sorry. Everything is fine between us. Always will be, Clem; no matter how busy I get or how distant I seem. I love you.” He held my gaze. “More than anything.”
Skinny Bitch Gets Hitched was a fun, no nonsense romance with attitude and style. And some seriously yummy sounding food, too!!
Clementine was such a lively character to get to know. I adored her straightforward ways and the fact that she ran her kitchen as an almost Zen-like area. Admittedly, I didn’t read book one so I didn’t get to see Clem’s metamorphosis into who she is now, but Kim Barnouin did a stellar job of bringing in bits of the past to help us out. I really dug her sense of humor, her loyalty to family & friends, and how she turned to cooking to work out her problems. I have to agree there is something about getting in the kitchen and creating to put life into perspective for me, too.
