Always The Bridesmaid Essay

744 Words3 Pages

Always the Bridesmaid is the one book that I have read during my semester break. Thank God for the long three weeks break, I managed to read a few summer titles that I have missed out on! I am no doubt, a massive fan of Lindsey Kelk’s books, not just because she writes awesome stuffs but also because she loves Hello Kitty as much as I do! Exam week was pretty much no sleep and reading a great story during the break was all I needed. I was really lucky to be given an advanced copy that came with cute, hot pink and lime green M&Ms but assignments and life got in the way and ruined the excitement. However, nothing could stop me during the holidays, I literally read my three weeks away. A million thanks to the amazing publicists at Harper for sending …show more content…

I heart them all. Let’s talk about what’s on the inside then! Always the Bridesmaid follows the story of Maddie, a party planner, who is asked to be a Bridesmaid and given a promotion after a long, long time. All is good. So, what can possibly go wrong when everything is just fine? Almost everything. Her bestie, Lauren is getting married and her ‘crazy bride’ switch is definitely switched on. On the other side, Sarah, is getting divorced and she is asked to be a bridesmaid as well. Bad timing. Maddie jots down every event that follows in her journal and there, the story slowly …show more content…

It was unputdownable. Humour and seriousness are perfectly blended and that is something I love greatly about her writing. Strong friendship was portrayed between Maddie, Lauren and Sarah. They fight, they argue but all those just made them stronger. To seal it all, there is of course, a big, love affair. It is brilliant and I do not want to spoil it for all of you out there! Figure it out! I loved the ending, really amazing and it certainly reflects a modern relationship in which we text more than we call and of course, we use more emoticons than ever. *inserts heart-eyes

    It showed that the pressure of always being perfect and beautiful was hard on her. I also liked that most students can relate to being pressured to be something they’re not. I disliked that I felt the length of the book on multiple occasions. I identified with Paige because I have also been pressured to be someone I don’t want to be. In the story, Paige is pressured to be perfect and make no mistakes and this often happens in real life.

    The fact that she can walk away from all those terrible experiences with love for her parents is incredible. Another thing I loved about this book is how it represents her parents, with all their faults, and their poor mentality, at its worst, without anger, or really any judgment, just with the love. If she had been bitter in her description it would not have been as amazing. This memoir was written with forgiveness making me respect her for not only surviving such a strange childhood to become a successful, but for being able to view her past with

Honestly Callie could hardly be called a character at all. She was given about as much personality as a sheet of paper. And Callie wasn’t the only character who disappointed me.

    I believe if she was as close to her parents as she claimed, they would have recognized the change in their daughter. Aside from the negative aspects of this book it was a suspenseful read. The journal format that the book is written in makes it much more interesting because it is explained in the words of the narrator herself. It allows the readers to have a closer connection to the character and allows us to enter her thoughts. In my opinion this makes the ending much more tragic.
