Awful!
It really pains me to write such a review. Normally I absolutely love JC’s work but to be honest I could not get past chapter 11, and the only reason I stuck with it for that long is because I normally absolutely love her work. I kept hoping it would get better but I I finally gave up as I could not stand any of the characters, I found them incredibly irritating and sublimely stupid! Finally decided to call it a day when all the main character could do was go on and on and on and on and ON about her boss’s body, her boss who treats her like crap and is the kind of guy that you really really want to pee in his coffee!
I am really really really disappointed in this book

I absolutely loved this book, the story and characters are so loveable, you can't help but fall for them. The only thing that bothered me a little was the narrators Boston accent, which sounded like a bad fat Tony impression from the Simpsons!

Characters were implausible, story didn't hold me
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
The story line didn't hold my attention, the characters and their actions were implausible at times and the narrators accent was off-putting. Not my favorite read this year
Has The Nearly-Weds put you off other books in this genre?
NO but possibly this author and certainly this narrator
Would you be willing to try another one of Emma Gregory’s performances?
No
Do you think The Nearly-Weds needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
definitely not
