Almost A Bride has been a lovely book to snuggle up with over the past couple of days. It felt like an old, familiar flannelette shirt as soon as I dived between the covers and I just didn't want to put it down. I hadn't heard of Sarah Mayberry before this book but I will definitely look for more of her work now. She writes well. Really well. The dialogue sparkles (no surprise as I learned that Sarah also writes for television) and the plot flows effortlessly. I have to confess to my heart breaking out in song early in the book when Mayberry wrote about a couple "of" things. At that point I thought "You're not American", and went off to check her bio. It's little things like omission of "of" that often irritate me about American English, and inclusion of that same word that make me feel good about Australian and English English. Petty I know, but feeling comfortable with a book is a really integral part of getting to enjoy reading it. I certainly felt comfortable with this one. I can't recommend it enough!
