Ready Or Not? by Chris Manby

What the cover says:
Every bride is entitled to some pre-wedding jitters. And what girl wouldn't think twice about marriage when her fiance gets his eyebrows shaved off just in time to look horrendous for the photographs?
But what if it's not the ceremony that freaks you out but the happy ever after? Heidi Savage is wondering whether she an really forsake all othersfor macho, berr-swilling Ed. And how can a couple who've never even been babysitters be ready to start a family of their own?
Will the answer come in the form of her ex-boyfriend Steven? Grown-up, gorgeous and good-with-children. Is Heidi's dilemma simply a case of right shoes, right dress, wrong husband?


I was really disappointed in this story. Chris Manby's books are usually good fun to read, but this time I felt nothing for any of the characters (apart from mild irritation) and just wanted Heidi to get on with it and make her mind up. And when she finally did at the end, all I felt was slightly cheated for some reason.

6/10
