Well, it was very different from the movie it inspired. I was prepared for that and I still didn't like it very much all told. I didn't care for Sophy because she seemed to have some kind of personality flaw. Obviously she was very concerned with making her mother happy and keeping up appearances, but then the outbursts and thoughts she had seem to contradict that. It just didn't work for me. The dialogue was a bit unnatural to me at times as well. (I find myself saying that rather often about British books, however, so take it with a grain of salt.) Honestly, I didn't really like the interactions between her and Josh very much. She was neurotic about her looks and practically delusional about how Josh viewed her. Was it the worst book I've ever read? Nope, not even close. It was enjoyable enough for me to finish it and give it 3 out of 5 stars. This is one time, however, where I actually enjoyed the movie more than the book. For me, they took the best parts of the book and created the movie around that and really made it work. Of course, your mileage may vary. :)

This book was pretty good. I was expecting it to be more like the movie The Wedding Date but as it is said in a lot of the other reviews it is really different from the movie. It is a funny and enjoyable book.

A British literary version of The Wedding Date (movie)... I loved this book.

Fun, quick read. Great "beach" book for summer vacation. Apparently, the movie The Wedding Date was loosely based on this book, that is why I picked it up to read originally.
Once I got past the British slang, references to items I was unfamiliar with, etc. I liked this book alot. Sophy is a lovable, though neurotically self-conscious, girl & Josh is the perfect guy. Perfect, because no real guy would keep coming back like he did. You're so glad they finally get together in the end.
The movie "The Wedding Date" was based on this book. I loved the movie and thought I would read the book. The movie is loosely based on the book but still enjoyable.
