Rating: 4 out of 5

Note: This is actually closer to a 4.5 to a 4, but it wasn't to where I could give it a 5.Wedding Hells covers what happens when Melanie Parker attends and is part of her sister’s wedding ceremony.  I read this as a standalone story but it also serves as a prequel to an upcoming review I’m doing on The Dr. Pepper Prophecies (which takes place four years after the wedding).I found this to be a very delightful read.  I could relate to Mel’s plight in regards to the cut and fit of the wedding dresses and not really fitting in with the other bridesmaids.  I also identified with the question in regards to “getting a man” and “getting married”, since I didn’t get married until years later than what was “expected” from certain members of my family.  Like Mel, I wanted to focus on education and my career, while Mel’s family-her father in particular-believe it’s more important for a woman to find a good man and just settle down, abandoning her own aspirations.I recommend this short burst of comedic, yet slightly predictable chick lit humor.  One will have to check my upcoming review on The Dr. Pepper Prophecies to see if my perception and sympathy for Mel’s plight changes.
