Her wedding is the most important event in the life of any
woman. The majority of women says so.
It just happens that the heroine of “Diary of a Mad Bride" by Laura Wolf,
Amy Thomas, does not support the above statement. She says sarcastically that
brides infected by the virus called "wedding fever" do not trigger
any feelings except pity and laughter, and certainly not jealousy. She thinks
so until the very moment her handsome prince, Stephen, makes her a marriage
proposition. What happens next? Oh, the real "wedding fever", which
Amy continues to deny. She tries to combine the preparations
for the marriage with her job and other important matters; she solves family and
money problems. Armed with a guide for weddings’ preparations and a pre-marriage
to-do-list, she tries to follow the plan and not to panic too much.
Amy Thomas with all her misadventures, her peculiar logic and the insane desire
to appear a strong business woman holding everything under control, makes you
smile. And when the earth seems to give away under her feet, then she makes you
feel sorry. However, you respect Amy for her desire to achieve whatever was
intended - not every woman has such willpower or obstinacy. In the course of the story Amy regrets her
actions a thousand times, but does not change the path that was initially chosen.
How to stop being nervous if the recently married girlfriend, Mandy, is
increasingly turning into a chicken-hen, and sprinkles with tips; Amy’s mother offers
an old and absolutely awful, smelling of mothballs, wedding dress; shoes of a
desired model cannot be found for an affordable price?
The book is ironic and sometimes sarcastic, showing to readers what a marriage can
actually do to a girl, how it can throw a girl off the track. And Amy Thomas is
an excellent example of the most "gone mad" brides.
In my opinion,
the book is perfect for girls who currently planning a wedding. Whatever it is,
Amy's misadventures will help to take many things easy and change attitudes
towards the wedding chores. And Amy?... Well, she did marry, but she
experienced a real apocalypse.
The point of the book? If you are loved and you love and want to continue this
way all your life, you are able to remove mountains on the way to your own
happiness. And it would be good if there is a loving man's shoulder on which
you can rely on and cry in extreme circumstances.
