Horribe Horrible Horrible
This book started out well. Seemed to be going along GREAT but then it just went . . . . splat!!! How in the world are we, the reader, supposed to believe that Josie and Matt love each other when they don't spend more than a few hours together????? Especially knowing that Matt did what he did with Holly??? Would have been more believable if Matt and Holly ended up together. Maybe Josie was right and she was doomed to always pick Mr. Wrong! After all didn't Matt technically stray even though he just heard that she, Josie, claimed to love him and supposedly he felt the same.
For Worse
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.
A cute but formulaic and uneven chick-lit novel
A good summer fluff read that was light enough and not overly romantic or 'cutesy.' Didn't like it as well as other Carole Matthews' novels (I think "With or Without You" was a better story), but still held my attention for most of the book. Pacing is really uneven, though, and I found the main characters to be annoying as the book wore on. I would recommend taking this one out from the library before buying it for your collection.
