Reliable
Lucy: Maid of Honor Extraordinaire.
Lately, it
just seemed like everyone around her was getting married or having babies. Of
course, the latest wedding was a doozy. An 80's-themed wedding? Really? With
everyone asking about her love life, Lucy should've really come alone.
"You
are waiting for your life to begin:" words from a psychic. Something was
about to begin.
"The world spins before me – and all around me – and I’m
here. Always right here. Standing still." (23)
Then a pending reservation that someone forgot to cancel
presents itself. London? Could she do it? Yes! Lucy was going to London. She
was finally going somewhere! Hey, why not? Especially if the trip was already
paid for.
I liked that
the setting was London. I loved London! It was certainly an adventure.
The writing
was graceful and witty. Occasionally there was a slight lag with a few too many
characters, but I liked that Lucy had the courage to get out of her rut. I
mean, if you're standing still, then you're not going anywhere. But Lucy
definitely lived in regret, especially when she wanted to go on that girl's
trip to Europe so badly, but didn't out of fear. Spontaneity was not her forte.
That passport she was holding was a promise that she never kept, so I was glad
that she was finally doing it. No more waiting on life.
One thing
that bugged me was the archaic concept that if you never get married, then
you'll never go anywhere (because usually honeymoons take you to exotic
locations.) That's just ridiculous!
Story was a
good example of taking life by the horns and having the ride of your life. Life
is certainly full of possibilities.
My rating: 4 stars
