The very first
book I read about this genre, Christian romance, I just expected a proper
romance, without long kisses or tight hugs. Well, that was my vision about it
but all my thoughts changed with the very first book I read The Secret of Pembrooke Park by Julie
Klassen which I’m totally convinced that I will re-read this book again. The
same way will happen with Undeniablyyours by Becky Wade. I let you both links if you want to know more about
these books, but I was so thrilled as I am now. The last thing I was expecting
from a Christian romance book is that it got me so into it. I loved those two
books as I love this last one I’ve read.
I’ve heard The wedding dress before as a
great book but I’d rather read others before so I waited a long time until I
decided it was about time. My, my… It was awesome and it has become already in
one of my favourite books... I just
couldn’t put it down. I loved all the stories inside the main story, not only
Charlotte’s but Emily’s, Hillary’s and Mary Grace’s but above all, Charlotte’s
and Emily’s.
The author wrote this story thinking about the Gospel. This story is about a wedding dress about hundred-year that didn’t change throughout the years, it has never been altered, it’s never worn out, fits everyone who wears it. All of this is a metaphor about the Gospel because the Gospel never changes and fits everyone and it’s timeless. All of this and several romances developing inside this book. So romantic. So mysterious.
I loved the
writing, the stories, the character, the strength of Charlotte and her fears
about her past and future; the tender way from Tim Rose toward Charlotte and
Daniel’s courage. The convictions of Emily and her true feelings about Jesus;
the sweetness from that old couple that still loves each other.
There’s a
big mystery around the wedding dress, about that Mr.OddFella, about Charlotte’s
family, about the true love…
I have no
doubts that I’ll re-read this story again. Too much to learn.
