Review: Immature view of marriage
Rating: 2 out of 5

I read both A Bride for Tom & A Husband for Margaret and did not get the female characters at all. They all seem to want to get married for the sake of it, never mind who is the groom.In this novella, Jessica decides to help Tom get over his clumsiness with women while she prepares for her own wedding day. The color of her flowers, the perfection of the napkins and the general look of the wedding day seem a lot more important than the man she will spend her life with. She gets really distressed when her hair has to be cut (I did not see the need myself) and so did everyone around her. It was not immature, it was plain stupid.I would not recommend this book to anyone, even a pre-teen. This simplistic view to marriage leads directly to divorce court.
