Review: Too many errors (and some possible spoilers)
Rating: 3 out of 5

This was a cute idea for a story, but more than a little predictable. There were also many errors throughout the story that could have easily been corrected - in my opinion - had the book been better edited. I am beginning to think I should offer my services to indie ebook authors...not to do serious, publishing-house type editing, but maybe to help catch all the little errors I see crop up constantly in so many ebooks. One that has become a giant pet peeve is the use of the word 'awe' when one means 'aww'. As in "Aww, how cute!".I disliked how the main character, Megan, kept whining about how 'wrong' it was of her to hook up with her best friend, Ben, when clearly they had more than friendly feelings for each other. Some of the best loves are born out of a good, solid friendship.Megan's friend who was getting married, Jessica, was a complete tool of a bridezilla too. I realize it's supposed to be her special day, but she doesn't have to be a twatwaffle about it. Also, who plans a wedding at a foreign resort without doing any actual planning beforehand? Especially someone who constantly rails about how everything MUST be perfect. NO ONE. This aspect of the story was so unbelievable...no one ever seems to call the bride out for it either, which I find ludicrous.All in all, everyone acts like morons with the maturity levels of middle schoolers. The writing was atrocious and from what I could tell hadn't been edited at all. I had started out liking this book, but by the end I just wanted it to be over so I could get my money back. The only reason I finished it was so I could make a more comprehensive review. This review has evolved as I have read more of the book and I have become increasingly more exasperated with the author.
