    About this ebook

    "I loved this book. It is funny, witty and intriguing. If you are a fan of Sophie Kinsella I am positive you will love My Perfect Wedding by Sibel Hodge"  --Geeky Girl Books

    WARNING! This book contains screwball comedy, quirky characters, and farcical situations...

    Helen Grey is finally getting everything she wants. She's about to have the perfect dream wedding and begin an exciting new life abroad on the sunny Mediterranean island of Cyprus. But living the dream isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    After a mix-up at the airport, Helen finds herself drawn into the midst of an elaborate plot to steal an ancient statue and assassinate a local businessman. And as if that wasn't bad enough, her wedding dress is AWOL, the statue seems to be cursed, and Helen is wanted by the police.

    With the big day rapidly approaching, a roller-coaster of mishaps, misunderstandings, and disasters threatens to turn the newlyweds into nearlyweds.

    Can Helen prevent an assassination, save the statue, and have the perfect wedding? Or will the day to remember turn into one she'd rather forget?

      This is a cute story that relies on the extraordinarily gullible and ditzy Helen Grey lurching from one farcical situation to another after inadvertently exchanging suitcases at the airport. Helen is devastated that her wedding dress is missing but a simple exchange is impossible once she and her fiance discover the suitcase contains plans to steal a priceless statue, a lot of cash and a gun rest for s sniper rifle. When they attempt to alert authorities to the suspected assassination plot , they are thwarted by the governments' head of security, an arrogant acquaintance whose mutual dislike stems from a parental grudge.My Perfect Wedding is a comedy of errors that veers towards the slapstick, full of unusual characters and inane obstacles. The dialogue is witty and the novel is well written. The pace rarely lets up as Helen stumbles inelegantly from the silly to the absurd, but Hodge has thought carefully about the plot and the threads of each unlikely situation hangs together quite neatly.While the characters are shallowly drawn, their quirks are quite endearing. Though Helen is almost unbearably vapid, she is as amusing as she is exasperating. Kalem is fairly bland but I found Kalem's father's obsession with the condoms in the minibars and Cosmpolitan funny.My Perfect Wedding is a light read, written for laughs and offering sitcom style satisfaction, easily enjoyed.

      My Perfect Wedding by Sibel Hodge can be described as 'chick lit'. Remember that before you pick up this book. It is a great book for a beach day or a lazy day at home. The book is an easy, quick read. You can read it in an afternoon. I read it while sitting outside my son's school waiting for him to get out. On the way to her wedding, Helen Grey ends up in jail. Yes jail.. What a way to start a marriage! This book will have you laughing out loud. Think Lucy and Ethel...I still get a kick out of them.. Timeless humor. Sibel Hodge has mastered this kind of humor. Most of Helen's problems are of her own making. She perpetually has her foot in her mouth.Unfortunately, I read this book without reading 14 DAYS. The first book in the series. I have since purchased it and will reread Helen's story after reading book one.Helen and Kalem are great characters. Reading this book has made me wish for a vacation in Cyprus. Ms. Hodge did a great job describing the place, now I would like to see it for myself...someday.

      My Perfect Wedding by Sibel Hodge is a fun, light-hearted caper with just enough love story thrown into the mix. The story takes place in North Cyprus, away from the hustle and bustle of the ever-changing and up-to-date UK. Kalem and Helen are looking to make a new life for themselves in the beautiful countryside of the Mediterranean. With their perfect wedding only a week away, they're ready to settle into their new home, Kalem's new job, and an entire new way of living. The simple life! They soon realize it's going to be anything but simple when they stumble upon plans for the elaborate heist of a centuries old artifact and the plot to kill the President himself! Instead of looking the other way, Helen and Kalem set out to do whatever it takes to keep the President , and his treasure, safe!Sibel Hodge has created quirky, easy to love characters. Moving the story along with non-stop action and amusing twists and turns. Honestly, this isn't a book I would typically read purely because it just isn't "my thing". The story unfolds very quickly without giving much background information and tends to be repetitive. Ms. Hodge uses alot of dialogue which I found a bit unorganized, but overall this didn't take away from the appeal of the book. I think this book would be perfect for a late teen, early twenty-something reading audience. That being said, there are sexual situations in this book, but they are not graphic and are written in a sort of cheeky way. If you are looking for a quick and fun read, this will definitely do the trick!Written for the Juniper Grove blog,~Hazel O'Shea

      In My Perfect Wedding, we journey with Helen Grey as misjudgment and plain bad luck land her in one messy situation after another. Granted, her foot also appears to be permanently attached to the inside of her mouth, so a good deal of the trouble is of her own making.Hodge does an excellent job of bringing us inside her character's head. Helen's voice permeated the text, creating a distinctive personality that set the wacky, off-beat tone of the piece. Unfortunately, however, the free pass to her inner workings shows that there isn't all that much going on inside.Helen's emotional range is limited, with panic, self-pity, and giddy happiness dominating the majority of the book. While shallowness and materialism have their literary place — think Lydia Bennett from Pride and Prejudice — in a heroine, I found the personality type utterly insipid. Her reactions and thinking patterns were those of a young adolescent, rather than a grown woman. To resolve this discordance, I ended up allowing myself to see her as a girl half her supposed age (and ignoring the issue entirely when her libido came into play). Suddenly, her behaviors were understandable, though only slightly less grating. At the very least, her self-centered attitude was consistent, even through trite life lessons that most learn at a young age. Think the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want".On some level, the farcical situations in which Helen landed herself were quite funny. The second incident involving nuts was particularly so. At the time, these scenes seemed random, but the author tied them together neatly towards the end of the book. I concede that they were necessary in that respect, yet many of them were too far-fetched or wholly illogical, the initial confrontation with the bodyguards serving as a prime example.As effective as the text was in portraying the main character, the repetition of certain words sparked my ire. One was "[insert adjective here] looking" in describing a good number of the people and things that she sees, e.g. a "hefty looking" man. Another writing tick, arguably more tiresome than the last, is "the simple life". Paris Hilton associations aside, there are other ways to describe a lifestyle involving no major department stores but plenty of agriculture.My Perfect Wedding strikes me as a book fit for beach reading or slapstick entertainment à la sitcom. For depth or provocation of thought, however, you may need to look elsewhere.Stimulated Outlet Book Reviews(Review copy provided by the author)
