![]() No n'hi ha cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 3.5* ( ![]() For all the fluff of this book, it really had a lot to say about homosexuality, being single and pregnant. But the main theme about being true to yourself and honest about your feelings comes across very well. Milly was almost too flaky, Simon was not developed well enough to truly understand him. The mother and godmother were way over the top. Tijdens een heerlijke zomer in Oxford raakt de achttienjarige studente Milly bevriend met Rupert en zijn Amerikaanse vriend Allan. Als Rupert haar voorstelt om met Allan te trouwen zodat die in Engeland kan blijven, aarzelt Milly geen moment. Na de formaliteiten poseert ze in haar goedkope trouwjurk lachend op de trappen van het stadhuis voor foto¿s. Tien jaar later is Milly verloofd met de rijke Simon die prijs stelt op een grootse bruiloft met alles erop en eraan. Milly heeft haar geheime huwelijk nooit aan iemand verteld. Met nog maar vier dagen te gaan haalt het verleden haar onherroepelijk in. Hoe kan ze Simon en haar moeder vertellen dat ze al getrouwd is?

Lots of family stress and drama develop in the planning of a wedding. All is tied up neatly in the end.
2.5 out of 5 stars. *sigh* This was my first time reading a 'Madeleine Wickham' novel, and since I have read all of her as 'Sophie Kinsella’, I thought these would be just as good. But I don't know ... I guess the way some of the characters decided take care of their secrets just rubbed me the wrong way or something, since I had to skim through some of the chapters just to keep reading, if I didn't skim through I would probably have stopped reading the book altogether. I will say I did like the ending and how the characters finally resolved their issues, and I loved the letter that Rupert read it was very sweet. In addition, I did like the fact that this book was about how to grow up and come to turns with who you truly are as a person, and once you do to stick by what you believe in. Therefore, it had a good message but the plot was a little boring and irritating for me ... Review By: From Me to You ...

To have and to hold takes on a whole new meaning when one bride's past catches up with her and brings the present crashing down. Milly is engaged to Simon--who is wealthy, serious, and believes her to be perfect. Milly's secret history behind a previous marriage to an Oxford homosexual is locked away so securely she has almost persuaded herself that it doesn't exist--until, only four days before her elaborate wedding.
