book was a nice ending to the trilogy, While I didn't like it as much as the first book in the series, I definitely enjoyed it more than the first.
I had to set aside my disbelief quite a few times in this book, as you would expect for any of these types of contemporary romance novels, but there were a few parts that were just SO ridiculous.
For example, at one point in the book Josie goes on about how she was raised to be selfsufficient and she doesn't want to be someone else's burden, which is why she decides she needs to get a job so she can pay her rent.
. . makes sense so far. . until she gets married. Now she's lost me Apparently once you're actually married to a hardworking rich guy, it's okay to not be selfsufficient anymore,
Then, it gets even better just a few pages later when Josie tags along with her rich and famous fiance to Bali where he's filming a movie.
How can she afford this trip if she can't even pay her rent Apparently being selfsufficient only applies to the necessities in life, like food and shelter.
If someone will pay for you to go on vacation forweeks, then it's totally cool to be a mooch and expect them to pay your way.
. !
However setting all of this aside, I still read this book like a guilty pleasure, I think I had a lovehate relationship with it, but either way, I still enjoyed it, could not wait to read this book from previous,
I enjoyed this more compare to thend, touched on some issues, . . wedding planning long distances relationship I totally understand, good on josie sticking her ground for her career dreams!
I just love Mattie the character, so hilarious, he's like the gay best friend every girl should have.
very entertaining light read for the afternoon with cuppa tea amp cookies, Bookin the USA Today Bestselling McMaster the Disaster series,
Josie's back and she's getting married!
Except,
how is she supposed to plan a wedding when her mother and her best friend Mattie both think they're the designated wedding planner, and none of their ideas are remotely similar Mom wants supertraditional and Mattie wants.
. . well, the complete opposite.
And that's not all Josie has to deal with, The gossip hounds are as invasive as ever setting up polls on everything from what shoes she'll wear to when the divorce will be! Can't a girl at least get married first
But the marriage is threatened when the Disaster Diary provides Josie with an opportunity of a lifetime and the real question becomes: with the stakes so high, is Josie willing to risk it all and take a chance on herself This last book is definitely an improvement over thend installment in the trilogy.
I'm not sure if it's the incorporation of the other characters like Jake, Mattie, Jen and even Josie's mother or if it's because Astor returns Josie back to her adorable, relatable self but I was back to my connection with her from the moment she started "planning" her wedding by refusing to choose between her two wedding planners.
Of course, the book ends with the most predictable of endings but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way and I think would have felt disappointed had the author not delivered on what I was imagining in my head.
For a cute, very light and quick read, I would recommend this to anyone into the chick lit genre, Our heroine is finally getting her Happily Ever After, Maybe. If she can make a decision, Any decision. Her best friend and her mother both think they are planning her perfect wedding, And like all engaged couples, when the wedding grows closer, the arguments intensify, Weddings are entirely too stressful, For McMaster the Disaster the paparazzi make it even worse,
Good series that has lots of lighthearted parts with some not so lighthearted added in to keep the romance interesting.
Cute trilogy. Thisrd book brings in the craziness in planning a wedding withdifferent wedding planners: one set with a traditional wedding and the other with a modern one in mind.
How can Josie choose between her mother and best friend to plan the wedding without hurting their feelings, Could she make more of a disaster of her life and loose everyone she really loves by betraying them I liked that the disaster diary is still in thisrd book and enjoyed how it all ended.
OK just finished this trilogy. It was a cute story, Not the best writing by any means, but I was entertained, The main character gets a bit annoying throughout this series, In fact, I think one of the most annoying things is that she's a COMPLETE doormat, She lets everyone walk all over her, It's just not attractive. The entire series is filled with completely impossible situations and outcomes, And of course the ending is wrapped up with a huge bow,
All in all, it was just OK, Not the best by any means, but entertaining enough to warrant more thanstars, I stumbled on the "McMaster the Disaster" books while traveling to Paris for myth birthday in October, I loved the fun, frothy book with a relateable heroine and quickly devoured Bridesmaid Lotto and Gamble on Engagement,
I found the third book in the series to be fully delightful, and I am hoping that The Disaster will strike again! Third amp final book.
Very cute, but a little predictable, I feel like Ms. Astor wrote the third book just to please her audienceand I must admit, I was not disappointed, but I felt like I could read the first couple of pages and know how it was going to end.
Didn't stop me from reading it in one sitting, though, This kind of seemed like the first book in a way because it was dealing with the paparazzi, and like the saying says, "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
" Although this is the ending of the series, there was more dept to the relationship, something that should have been established in the second one.
This one was wrapped up nicely but this one focus on how the relationship should have been established in the second book.
Although it was hysterical as well, there was more focus on the wedding, What is missing is the bride from the first book, where was she What about the cousins Meeting the parents I thought there should be more in this book.
The happily ever after was more for the supporting characters and where they are in their lives at the end of the book, she did not really indicate anything on where she is in her career.
Did I find a bunch of continuity errors and grammar mistakes Sure, Was it every bit of the shitty but escapist romcom I needed Absolutely!
Pro tip: the second book is by far the worst in this series.
I recommend you read it once to understand the minimal character development in Josie but that if you ever come to reread this series you skip right from book one to this one.
