Review: An easy, fun read, but it could use some editing.

The story begins with a New York socialite announcing that she will be doing a lotto to choose her bridesmaids. Josie McMaster has no interest in entering what is sure to be a competition to win the heart of the bride's soon to be brother-in-law, Jake Hall. So Josie's mother enters for her, and Josie wins a spot as a bridesmaid. Thus begins a whirlwind of paparazzi antics, spending way too much money on designer clothes, and maybe a little bit of falling in love with Jake.I love light, chick lit reads, and this one fits the bill. Josie is funny and adorable, and the supporting characters were all great as well. Mattie, Josie's friend who becomes her personal stylist, is hysterical and makes a good addition to the story. Jake becomes this really down-to-earth character who is quite charming and easy to fall for. The other bridesmaids make for some interesting catfights and new friendships.There were some grammar problems, some diction problems, and times when words needed to be added or taken out to make the flow of the novel better. These errors, for me, did not detract too much from the story, but the reading experience could definitely be improved with some editing. If this is something that bothers you a lot, don't read this book. But if you are able to overlook some of these errors and focus on the story, and chick lit is your thing, then I would recommend this book.
