Summary: Bye is Better than Buy
Comment: Just about as unlikeable and unlikely a story as I have ever read. Here we have a successful "woman of independent means" who is basically bullied into a quickie wedding with a much younger man of uncertain background. Self absorbed, shallow, trite, wordy, boring and entirely too explicit in the "love scenes." The author DOES manage to get the controlling, selfish husband down pretty well, but the "True" character is quite lame.
Say Bye to this one, I certainly would not recommending you Buy it.

Summary: Twelve Times Cursed
Comment: This book is what you'd get if you inserted a thesaurus into a Mills & Boon novel - an overly long, excessively wordy, sappy romance.
The characters are horribly underdeveloped; we know very little about them aside from their romantic foibles and sexual adventures. (And then there were several cases of Too Much Information.)
A more positive review quotes "'Once again, we readers are blessed with J.M.'s sensuous eye for detail". Cursed, would seem more apt.
Descriptions of young boys genitalia, the burgeoning of an erection, and several other unnecessary observations mentioned throughout this self-indulgent saga were disappointing.
This is not Mitchard's best piece of work. The Deep End of The Ocean and The Most Wanted are exceptional novels; Twelve Times Blessed does not come close.
Rating: 1
Summary: A True Stinker
Comment: I agree with all of the above reviewers; I can't believe I stuck with this book to the end. The characters are shallow and annoying; again, its impossible to see why True is adored by her friends. She is so impossibly stupid, its hard to believe she made it to 43. How did this book get published? I have never read any other books by Mitchard, but I thought her reputation as a writer was good. I would be hard-pressed to ever read another with her name on it.
