Summary: DON'T BOTHER!
Review: Looking for a lighthearted romantic romp a la Bridget Jones? Well, you won't find it here. Amy Jenkins' debut novel, "Honeymoon," is as unsatisfying as stale wedding cake. I was attracted to this book because of its description on the dustjacket. Well, I should have stopped there- that's the best part of the book. Ms. Jenkins falls into one of the most dangerous traps in modern fiction- trying to create "extra" characters, when all we really care about are Honey, the woman caught between Ed, the nice guy, and Alex, a mysterious bad boy she spent a life-changing evening with 7 years earlier. But, unfortunately, we meet Ven, Honey's younger sister, who is boringly beautiful and vacant, Della, a cliched party girl, Theresa, the token Happily Married Woman, and Mac, the yuppie. For a better read about wedding day jitters, try Suzanne Finnamore's "Otherwise Engaged."

Summary: Entertaining
Review: This book starts off with a bang, but really takes a left turn into an area that is so unrealistic and immature. It is, however, entertaining
