It's here. Will get to soon.
I have actually already read this as part of another bookring, so I let my friend read this copy in my place. I did tell her she had to provide comments for the journal entry so here they are:
"Great read. The style of writing was interesting, however it was a disappointing and abrupt ending."
Update 4/21: This is in the mail today to crrcookie.

Well, it looks like this book has come to the end of the list. I pm'ed spaceystacey and she asked to be skipped. I have spoken with bksfamly and he/she has indicated that he/she would like the book to return home.
As for my comments on the book....
I found it to be a light easy read that went rather quickly. I am not sure if I would give it rave reviews but it is a decent book with lots of funny moments.
I had a little problem with some of the flow of the book but I think that can be attributed to the diary style in which it is written. I am not sure if this is supposed to be based on a true story or not but if it is totally fiction then I think that several of the "bridal problems" could have been improved in the sense of making it more believeable.
I think my favorite part was near the end at the 7-11 store. It is nice to know that there are still people out there that will help some one in need.

Wow this is funny. I received a Pm from Rosie Posie inquiring is this book still had not arrived, and it had, just 1 minute ago !!
Oops Read the first page and now I am worried Rowena is stealing this book also. Last week Missy send me a surprise rabck, a chick lit. The next day I wanted to register it, and I could not find it. With lots of swearing I searched the house. That evening Rowena told me she wanted a book, I told her, O you hardly read anymore. She said kind of pissed off, Huh I am reading right now, I asked, which book, guess what? yes, Missy's book. lol.(She also stole the book plate Missy made. where is my whip)
Well I think you have made 2 people happy by sending this book. Thanks Rosie Posie Pudding and Pie.

Journal Entry 18 by CrazyDutchwoman from Heemstede, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Tuesday, April 18, 2006
OK. I have to be honest and say I did not like this book very much. I did read all of it, but never laughed. Did not think it funny at all.
Maybe because I've never been married, and it is very American ( American weddings are very different than Dutch weddings it seems. So many bridesmaids, if we have any they are kids, not adults.lol) not sure, but it was not a great chick lit book.
I think that people who can relate more to this kind of werdding, will like the book, they can relate more.
Thanks for sharing. I will probably offer it in another swap. (don't you think Rosie :-) )

Will have to do a thourough search . Planning to release it one way or the other. Book needs to travel some more. :)

I took this book from the Book box; I will give it to a friend who is planning her wedding at the moment. I might read it first, since I usually like diary-style chick lit.
I ended up reading this book while on Eurostar and leaving this book with my cousin who lives in England. She will most likely release it at a wedding.
