Explanation Toward Books Always the Bridesmaid (Cate Padgett #1)

What do you do after you walk down the aisle in four weddings in a few months-none of them your own? What's left after you've donned the must-have-not dresses of the season, forked over your cash, and fake-smiled your way through countless photos? After you've dealt with the smashed guest, the smooshed cake, the dashed hopes, and the missed bouquets? That's what Cate Padgett is starting to wonder, as she embarks on stint after stint on the sidelines, watching friends swap bar-hopping for baby-naming...while her own love life goes nowhere fast. But is Cate unwilling to settle down-or just unwilling to settle? And can anyone really judge her if they haven't walked in her dyed-to-match shoes?

Wild, witty, and full of weddings to cry over, Always the Bridesmaid is an endearingly romantic comedy about standing out in the crowd even when everyone's wearing the same celery-green dress...and daring to make every day The Happiest Day of Your Life.

Article Appertaining To Books Always the Bridesmaid (Cate Padgett #1)

I wasn't excited to read this book, but I'm so glad I did, I gave it five stars. This book was amazing, there wasn't a dull part in the entire book, it was realistic (a problem with most romance novels) and I adored the characters. I loved that Cate was always a good bridesmaid and friend, even though she was fed up at times. It was also incredibly funny, which was impressive since it's very rare for a book to come across as funny.Overall, amazing. I can't wait to read more books in this series.

This book was so entertaining! It definitely delivers in the rom-com department - it's exactly what you think it is, full of outrageous bridezillas, loyal girlfriends, and many moments that made me laugh out loud. I'm totally stealing the expression "You can go to hell in a handbasket." Also, I love how the author is 26 years old and has been a bridesmaid 5 times! I feel you, girl. I wonder how many of the disasters in the book are based on things that happened at the weddings she was part of.

I bought this book after reading the rave reviews it received, but I really wish I would have read the negative reviews a little more closely, which I recommend you do as well. This book did not make me laugh out loud and I had so many issues with the story that I had to constantly complain to my friends. The characters are not developed and behave like they just turned 21 in college. And since I live in San Diego and am about the age of the character I found the plot to be totally unbelieveable

Not my favorite chick-lit I've ever read, but definitely engaging. I found myself speeding through the pages, eager to see what new disaster befell the heroine & how she triumphed. The writing wasn't excellent - there were parts that I thought to myself how I might have re-written it or added to the scene - but those parts smoothed themselves out and didn't keep me from reading on. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it in the beginning, but by the end I was a fan. Again, a good

I feel that the weddings in this story were just a MacGuffin to showcase Cate's relationships with men. The humor was dry, which I enjoyed, but this book wasn't romantic or sweet.

This is classic chick-lit which makes for a good escape from real life from time to time. I read the book because of a "to read" list in the San Diego Union Tribune. It's set in San Diego and since that's where we winter, I loved it--because I knew all the places the author mentioned. Well, not all...I'm not a drinker so I don't know any of the Pacific Beach bars in the book, but... I cared about the main character--wanted to shake her when she was being stupid, cheered for her when good things

GROAN....my guilty pleasure, frothy chick lit. After reading a 500-page war novel, this was a cute distraction. It had all the basic hallmarks of a good chick-lit novel: messy girl in bad relationship who can't see the forest through the trees, realizes that she's strong enough not to need a man, but then gets one anyway. There were a lot of details put in that at the time seemed to foreshadow events, but ended up just being extraneous. It was a good read while I was bedridden for a few days.
