For how short this story was, it was very enjoyable. A Wedding Story was a perfect little free snippet that gave me an example what this writer's style is without having to purchase anything first. Ruth Ann (or 'Rhubarb') and Bobby are at her sister's wedding as the maid of honor and best man and they've been assigned to the kiddie table because of their past antics (or antagonistic behavior toward one another). At first they think it's a joke but their mothers have decided that enough is enough.This story is short so it's hard to say much without giving away spoilers, but I'll try. Ruth Ann has a dress catastrophe and needs Bobby's help. From there, the reader gets to learn more about their history and see some comedic interaction between them. The dialogue was cute and both their personalities shined through. Even though the story is only from her point of view, enough visual cues were given that I knew what he was thinking even when Ruth Ann was a little confused by his obvious feelings for her. I almost felt like I saw a tiny snapshot of their lives on what turned out to be the best day of both their lives.This was a sweet story that was a perfect bite sized read right before bed. I liked that there was a happy ending tying everything up neatly. I'll be looking for a full length by this author soon.
