BOOK OF THE DAY: Wedlocked by Bonnie Trachtenberg


by Bonnie Trachtenberg





BOOK DESCRIPTION
On what should be the happiest day of her life, Rebecca Ross is panic stricken. Rebecca has just wed Craig Jacobs, but she realizes she put more thought into choosing her florist than she did in choosing the man she’s just pledged to love for the rest of her life. 

Before Craig, Rebecca, a talented Long Island girl, dreamed of following in her grandmother’s footsteps with an acting career. Unfortunately, she was cut down to size by years of disappointment, and by her first love—a Hollywood director. She returned to Long Island a lost and broken woman, and ended up in the last place she ever wanted: her old bedroom at her parents’ house. 

But Rebecca’s mother, an overzealous convert to Judaism, has a long held dream too: marry off her three daughters to Jewish men. So no one is more thrilled than her when Rebecca meets and marries bon vivant Craig Jacobs, the man who has won over the whole family. Too bad they’re all about to discover that underneath his charismatic shell, this Prince Charming is anything but! 

“Wedlocked is a funny, warm, and engaging story about life, love, marriage and family. This page-turner is the perfect summer read!” —Wendy Walker, bestselling author of Social Lives

5.0 out of 5 stars Such Fun Reading! June 22, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
There aren't many books that can hold my attention these days, But Wedlocked absolutely did! This is such an entertaining book - perfect summmer reading - that I'm recommending it to everyone I know. It's the story of an aspiring actress who lets all her disappointment in life and love impel her into marrying the absolute wrong man! The story takes you from NY to LA to Italy and you really feel like you are in all of these places! The main character, Rebecca, is so real you'll feel like you know her. You will also experience her angst and root for her throughout (Don't worry, there's a very happy ending!)All the characters are so vivid and the story is so well told that you totally get lost in it and don't even realize how fast you are flipping through the pages. I love the way this author writes - so clever and funny. When I finished it I was actually a little depressed because it was over! I read that this is the author's debut novel and I hope she's got another one on the way!

This review is from: Wedlocked: A Novel (Kindle Edition)
Rebecca Ross is sarcastic, witty, and hilarious with her dry humor. We meet her on her wedding night to Mr. Wrong. Rebecca goes back in time to explain exactly how she ended up in this horrific situation. Following her dreams and inspired by Grandma Emma, Rebecca flies from her comfortable middle class suburban nest to the hills of Hollywood.

Her adventures there are full of ups and downs and include crazed roommates, sleazy agents, and a devilish man who gives her a double wallop, sending her back to the arms of dear mom.

Rebecca brings the narration to the aftermath of the wedding, including delectable descriptions of an Italian honeymoon from hell, her newlywed husbands insane and ridiculous acts of stupidity and rescue by an unlikely knight in shining armor.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SURPRISING TWIST AT THE END. But I cannot give it away. Guaranteed you will walk away cheerful that all the stars lined up, rewarding Rebecca Ross with her happily ever after.

Warning: don't read this book while imbibing liquid refreshments of any type unless you have waterproofed your Kindle. And if you haven't done your sit-ups, prepare for an aching belly.

Just like Wedlocked, I loved this book and read it in one day!

I like a story that isn't too sappy, yet still has the makings of a good love story.

Enjoyed all the characters in this book, and the ending was sweet (but not too sappy)lol.
