I Did (But I Wouldn't Now) by Cara Lockwood

I read this light-hearted sequel to I Do (But I Don't) last week and enjoyed it. While not as good as it's predecessor, I Did (But I Wouldn't Now) was still an enjoyable light hearted read.

I Did (But I Wouldn't Now) tells the story of Lily, the younger sister from I Do (But I Don't). It's now a few years down the road and Lily has found herself just separated from her rock star husband. It's bad enough to find out that your husband cheated on you with a movie star, but even more humilating when the entire world knows about it! Lily flies off to London to visit her friend (and ex-boyfriend) Carter and escape from her ex-husband. My hilarity and romance ensues.

I didn't think this book was as good as the first as it is hard to relate to being a rock star's wife! Also the new romance between Carter and Lily was strange with Carter sleeping with his psycho ex-girlfriend at the budding of Carter and Lily's rediscovering their feelings for each other. It seemed awkward and not as romantic as it could be.

If you liked I Do (But I Don't), this book is a good follow-up, but don't expect it to be as strong of a novel.

I Do (But I Don't) by Cara Lockwood

I Do (But I Don't) by Cara Lockwood is the March book club pick for my Kewaunee Mom's Club Book Club and was actually picked by my best friend Jenn. I read it over the weekend and thought it was great!

I Do (But I Don't) is the story of Lauren Crandell, a wedding planner. Lauren is very organized in life and at work, but not when it comes to her love life. She had a terrible marriage and has been divorced for a year. She hasn't been able to move on until she bumps into a handsome fireman that helps at one of her weddings. She is instantly attracted, but then horrified when she realizes that he is the groom at a new difficult wedding she is the planner for. Much hilarity ensues.

I really liked this book. The writing was engaging and really brought you into the story. It was engaging enough that it was a book I didn't want to put down. It was a fun book and I highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a good chick lit book.
