As far as Novellas go, Kiss the Bride by Jody Wallace is just right. Just the right amount of back story to get to know the characters, just the right amount of drama to keep you sucked in, and just the right amount of miscommunication to keep you wondering what will happen next.After being best friends for 34 years, you would think that Heck and Caroline would be on the same wave length of thought, and they are, for the most part, except for the important things like the l-word. Their interactions and responses to each other when their conversations get close to their true feelings were hilarious, frustrating, and definitely not what I expected; I loved every minute of it.Jody writes Heck as a true man's man that doesn't really have a clue about women or recognizing what is in his heart. He is a very logical and rational thinker. While Caroline is the caring woman who will sacrifice her happiness to make sure others stay happy and don't have to face anything they don't want to. Their relationship is one-of-a-kind that no one understands except for them....or maybe everyone else gets it and they don't.But even though Heck and Caroline define the main story, the various other characters are incredibly memorable from their snide comments to their outrageous actions; each one has their own personality that you don't usually get from a novella.Kiss the Bride is a novella that I would love to read as a novel with more from the wonderful characters of this book :D(I received an ARC for my review and this is my honest-to-goodness, straight from the heart review!)[...]  For more book reviews!!
