book blurb:

Jessie Stone has spent thirty-five years fantasizing about marriage proposals, wedding dresses, and falling in love. She’s been a bridesmaid eleven times, waved dozens of couples off to sunny honeymoons, and shopped in more department stores for half-price fondue pots than she cares to remember.

But shopping in the love-of-her-life department hasn't been quite as productive. The man she thought she would marry cheated on her. The crush she has on her best friend Blake is at very best…well, crushing. And speed dating has only churned out memorable horror stories.

So when God shows up one day, in the flesh, and becomes a walking, talking part of her life, Jessie is skeptical. What will it take to convince her that God has a better love story than one of the thousands she’s cooked up in her journals?

Will she trust Him with her pen when it appears her dreams of being the bride are forever lost?

A romantic comedy with a spiritual twist, Never the Bride is what it means to lose control—and getting more than any woman could ever imagine.

Review:

This is the first book by Rene Gutteridge that I have read though I have always heard good things about all of her books. I must say this was a great book.

McKay and Gutteridge really tapped into what a single woman feels like when she is in her thirties. Everyone wants that perfect fairy tale prince and happy ending, and we all want it right now. Sometimes it is hard to realize that God really does have a plan for you, especially when you want to plan it yourself.

I couldn't help but laugh out laughed threw this whole book because I could really identify with Jessie (being a thirty-something single) I couldn't help but pass this one on to my friends because I knew right off that they would enjoy it.
