That Boy Series by Jillian Dodd

I saw this book a couple of times when I looked for something to read.
At first glace, it looked like a teenage book, so I skipped it.
But Maryse suggested this book very recently.
Actually I think I just bought it right on the day she posted the series' reading order.

Ok. I'll admit, first I only had the sample version. But before I finished it I was already laughing and grinning. A colleague walked in while I was reading and she asked why I was smiling at the screen. Ha. That's when I decided to buy the book and man, it didn't disappoint. :)

 That Wedding - a romance about marrying the boy next door.

I know he's that boy. The boy I want to marry, my prince, my happily ever after. I feel like I'm living in a dreamy fairytale. But then, Pastor starts asking questions I don't know the answers to. 

 I have horrible wedding disaster dreams.
I can't find a dress.
I have to manipulate him to get my way.
An old boyfriend asks me to run away and marry him.
My best friend tells me I'm going to ruin everything.
And forever is starting to sound like a really long time.

Which makes me start to wonder.
I wonder if best friends should get married.
I wonder if I'm settling.
I wonder if the fact that sex with him is so amazing that it's clouding my judgment.
I wonder if it's just cold feet.
I wonder if marriage is all that fun.

And then I have to decide. Am I willing to give up on true love forever, or should I say, What the hell, and marry him anyway?

 I've been getting books from The Kindle store since April. And That Wedding was the most expensive purchase I've made so far. But hey, I don't regret any penny! ;)

And today, I found the official website from Jillian Dodd, the author. And she has this very cool page, That Wedding Photos. It's like wow.. the book comes true. :)

And here are my three favorite quotes from this book.

"No boy is worth your tears, but once you find the one that is, he won't make you cry. " - although I'm pretty sure JJ will argue with you about that ;)
"Love makes you feel out of control." - Danny Diamond, the hot NFL quaterback :)
"Realize that people screw up, and you need to at least listen to what they have to say. Let them explain before you convict them of whatever you think they did. " - Jadyn James Mackenzie. :)
