Wow, I'm surprised how many five stars I see for this one. The book is an easy read, that's true, but it was also slow on the uptake, formulaic and the grammatical errors became annoying by the middle of the book.This is supposed to be the story of Josie McMaster and Jake Hall, but Jake Hall did not make an appearance until much later; that is after listening to Josie ramble on. She's not your typical heroine, but some of her antics became annoying by the middle of the book also.And the most annoying (I know, I've used annoying several times, and it is intentional because that's how much I was annoyed with it) is the ending. I don't think this is a spoiler but just in case, if you don't want to know, please stop here.***POSSIBLE SPOILER***Bridesmaid Lotto (McMaster the Disaster), though should stand on its own is actually the first chapter in a series of books. The ending left you hanging in an annoying fashion because it was so obvious that it is a ploy so that you will buy the next book. Think of the book as a nighttime soap opera, wherein you will need to tune in the next week so that you can follow the plot.I won't mind this if it was a good series because I do love mega epics (exampleThe Eye of the World: Book One of 'The Wheel of Time', But Bridesmaid Lotto is so transparent that it was written that way to be commercial.
