2.0 out of 5 stars seconf wedding Blues, July 16, 2000

This review is from: Emily Post on Second Weddings (Paperback)

I gave this book two stars because it did offer proper ettiquette. However, the author seemed to focus more on what the second time bride could NOT do. I was hoping for postive help and possibly suggestions on how to handle second wedding issues. Instead, I found the same attitudes and connotations so many people have, who obviously haven't experienced either the lose of a mate or divorce. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you're ready for a "dressing down".
