Vision in White

Vision in White by Nora Roberts

My mom got this book as a pre-wedding present, with the thought that it could be a great honeymoon read. It traveled to Grand Cayman with me, and was read cover to cover. It's definitely "fluff" and a "beach read" and the written version of a "chick flick," but it kept me entertained. And, really, after a busy wedding weekend, it was just what I needed.

Vision in White is the first in a bride quartet about four girlfriends who have grown up together and now take on different roles in "Vows," their wedding business. There's the wedding planner and bookkeeper, the cake baker, the florist, and the photographer. This first book focuses on the photographer, and each of the next three will focus on one of the other girls.

Yes, it's the book that was advertised on theknot.com in the video section. Yes, it uses acronyms like MOH and BM. And yes, they are overused. Yes, it's kinda silly at times.

The next book in the series, Bed of Roses, doesn't come until late fall. Will I read it? Probably. Will I claim it as one of the best books ever written? Probably not.

If you're looking for an easy-to-read book and enjoy the different aspects of wedding planning, pick it up. If you're looking for a deep, life-changing book, keep on browsing.
