Are You Ready For a Walk Down the Aisle?



Jessica Gordon has donated an eBook copy of this for the program on May 18th at Stonecrest Library.  Thank you for sending the copy.   Thank you for letting me share
this novel.

Synopsis:

Shoshana (Sho) is engaged to the man of her dreams Drew Walsh.  Sho comes from modest surroundings while Drew comes from a wealthy family.  Sho is not really thrilled about meeting her future sister in laws.  As Sho spends time with them she gradually starts to adjust to the family when she meets her future brother in law Mark.  Sho has to meet him for work but ends up spending time with him when Drew is not around too.  Who will She choose Drew or Mark?  How will she change as she becomes accustomed to the wealth?

My Thoughts:
Overall I enjoyed this novel especially since I am familiar with where this novel is set.  I also loved that this novel is about a wedding but in a different since.   The novel is not a how to on planning a wedding but what happens when you have to become part of someone else’s family?  What sacrifices or affect you or others?

This novel is my first by Jessica Gordon.   She lives and writes about the Washington D.C. area.   This novel is like a Cinderella story, where the Cinderella who just isn’t sure about her Prince.  There were times with the character of Sho I wanted her to stand up for herself more or for Drew to wake up and pay attention to his finance.  I am very curious what Drew’s position is in his job?  The author is very sketchy about the details.

Rating:

4/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
