Mister Bridesmaid by Ivy Oliver and Stephen Dexter, Noah Michael Levine
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I haven’t seen him in six years… now we’re married.
When my best friend asked me to serve as her Man of Honor, of course I said yes. A trip to Vegas for the week before her wedding and then on to the Florida Keys for the nuptials was an added bonus. The icing on the cake was her brother, Colt.
I liked it but was not overwhelmed. It was a bit slow, sometimes and several spoken sentences sounded unreal. I mean, who is screaming mad and comes up with an insult of 6 adjectives? About adjectives, regularly giving a list of characteristics is not the prettiest way of storytelling. And repeating several times "Something is wrong but I don't know what" needs a few examples to give the reader a feeling of suspension.
The light and patient tone Stephen Dexter chose, often got a bit sleepy. He performed a lot slower than the other narrator, which made me constantly tweak the speed. Noah M Levine tended to gloss over a lot of emotions as directed by the text.
