I Take You: A Novel
3 journalers for this copy...
Full disclaimer: I received this novel as a Blogging for Books giveaway, but that in no way affected this review.
This is a chick-lit novel of a thirty-something lawyer named Lily who is engaged to Will, a hot archaeologist. With a week to go before the big event, there is doubt in Lily's mind...she likes him, but does she love him? They've only known each other about six months, and have been engaged for five of them. The one thing in common between them is they both love their respective work.
The problem: Lily loves sex and infidelity seems to be inbred in her. Despite her deep affection for Will, she regularly indulges herself, when so inclined, with men she meets, especially in bars. And she spends a good deal of time drinking with her best friend Freddy (her maid of honor).
Her parents try to talk her out of marrying him so quickly...because they know her past, her proclivities, but that only makes her more determined to marry Will. She knows she can change her ways, but can she?
Will, too, has concerns...how well does she really know him? He loves her madly, but... And then there are his parents, especially his mother, who are against the marriage to Lily once they meet her.
Working out these issues (and some others), in the week prior to the wedding that is to take place in her home town of Key West, may undo Lily and Will. Add to that, she is has a full plate of activities. She is still working with a client on a huge case, all the while working out the details of the wedding with the wedding planner.
This story is full of twists, full of sexual come-ons, and full of laughs (if rampant promiscuity is funny). Will they marry or will they part? Lots of texting/sexting shown.
