The wedding dress is gorgeous. The honeymoon's booked. And her lovely Tim, with his jet-black hair and navy-blue eyes, is the most perfect bridegroom a girl could wish for. Except, two weeks before the wedding, he changes his mind...Isobel's wedding is off. Her world in tatters, she turns to Spain, a new job, a new life, and as many new men as she can decently manage. Including the deeply appealing Nico. But Isobel knows that part of her will have to go home some day. And that, despite all that's happened since she left, she still has some unfinished business...

Isobel's Wedding,
By Candice (Victoria, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Isobels Wedding (Paperback)
First of all I liked this book because it was thick, very thick! Most books I've read lately have been so thin I've read them in two days! So I enjoyed having a nice big book to read. The story goes through Isobel's life, she is 2 weeks away from getting married when her finance decides to hold off the wedding. She is devistated and never quite get's over it. She moves to Spain and tries to start a whole new life. I won't say anymore because I don't want to ruin it! But the book is interesting all the way though, though sometimes Isobel can get a little too pathetic. For such a long book it doesn't feel like it is since the story keeps flowing. While the ending is kind of disappointing for a book that has taken you through such a long journey of her life, it's not reason enough not to read it. Hopefully there will be a sequel or something. So if you feel like a nice light read, and want to sympathize with another woman then I definatly recommend it!

A Real Page Turner,

This review is from: Isobels Wedding (Paperback)
As always, Sheila O'Flanagan does not disappoint...much.
The book was engrossing and entertaining. The descriptions of life in Spain were wonderful and I felt like I was right there with Isobel. But...I found Isobel to be somewhat annoyingly oblivious to Tim and her relationship with him. However, this is realistic because we've all probably had friends dating men that everyone in the world can see through except for the girl. Or even ourselves! Overall, though, Isobel was likeable and I found myself staying up late last night to see what happened to her. The ending didn't quite tie up all the loose ends and I would have liked to see a short epilogue....or perhaps Sheila can write us another book about Isobel...hint hint. Edit: It turns out that apparently in one of the short stories in "Connections" Isobel's story continues and we get to find out what happened after. I haven't read this, just thought I'd let everyone know!

Liked it, but....,
By Anglophile Girl "Terri" (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Isobels Wedding (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book, as I usually do with Sheila O'Flanagan's novels, but I didn't like the main character, Isobel, much. I found her a bit whiny and too full of self pity.
