Three Brides, No Groom Book Review

I grabbed this on my trip through the library before my vacation but didn't get to read it until we got home.  Three Brides, No Groom by Debbie Macomber was the next book in my pile and I was interested in finding out more information about the interesting title.  I was glad that I was able to read it even though it was done too quickly.

Three women meet at their fifteen-year class reunion…and discover that their lives have taken unexpected directions. Back in their college days, Gretchen Wise had been engaged to a top law student. Carol Furness, head cheerleader, had said yes to the school’s football hero. And Maddie Cobain was the girl who’d fallen for a professor.  Now the three of them gather around a popular fountain on the college grounds. This fountain was where lovers met, where promises were made…and broken. So it’s fitting that Gretchen, Carol and Maddie sit here to share their stories of betrayal, revenge and finding new love.  Originally published in 1997

I was surprised by this book.  It was three different stories in one book that were all linked together.  There is a short introduction to the fountain at the college where the central parts of the story happens.  All of the women are back to their college reunion and learn that they aren't really that different from each other.  Carol was engaged to a football player who broke up with her as soon as he went pro.  Maddie fell for her professor who was only using their engagement to strong her along until after graduation.  Gretchen was engaged to a law student who cheated on her a week before the wedding.  All of them were in love with a men who broke their hearts around the same time.  All of them turned their life around and met other wonderful people and went on to have great adventures.  I hope that you check out this book and see for yourself because you won't be disappointed with all of the action going on in this book.  I hope that you enjoy this story as much as I did.
