Fabulously fun read and eye opening for some introspective. When I first picked up this book I was thinking of the film "27 Dresses" then as I started to read I was thinking of "My Best Friend's Wedding". As far as entertainment this book is up there with those films if not even more enjoyable. What would you do if God started appearing to just you to tell you to let Him write 'your' love story? That is what Jessie has to decide and it is quite the emotional adventure watching what she will end up doing and how her life may turn out.

I read this book in a day, with my five week old daughter's interruptions. I just had to continuously pick the book back up and keep reading to find out what would happen next. It is just that good! And oh what a romance! And comedy *grin*. There is such a fight to make your own path in life and fight the direction that God gives us. This is a novel about learning to let Him guide us and how His plans will make us happy if we will just let Him participate in the planning.

Finishing this novel, I cannot help but grin and giggle to myself. This is my first experience with Rene Gutteridge and Cheryl McKay, yet definitely not my last!

LOVE LOVE LOVED this book!! It was completely unexpected. More than anything, it left a real sense of how MUCH God loves us and desires the very best for us. And the best requires us to trust Him and let Him guide us.

Jessie is just a normal girl searching for the man God has planned for her. Well, like all of us, she's unconventional and often goes her own way. God gently guides her back to show her who He is and that He has planned her love story as a reflection of the love He has for her! It's an amazing story and I highly recommend it.

This book was light and fun and moved quickly. I thoroughly enjoyed the read from beginning to end. Jessie is single, romantic and wanting to get married. As the title suggests, she has watched lots of friends get married and been a bridesmaid 11 times!She wants to be a bride so badly that she even tries speed dating. When God shows up in the flesh, she gets to actually talk to Him about her dreams. Will she keep dreaming the same dreams in the same way or let God help her move into new paths?

I found this to be a very entertaining chick lit book with a great message -- God has a plan for YOU. Some may find this a LOL! book, but for me it was a sweet story that made me smile and feel good. Just the right amount of humor, romance, longing for romance, family, and friends and most of all ... A Heavenly Father with a plan.
