The wedding is a follow on from the notebook, but the book is now about Noah and Allie’s daughter Jane. This book is written in the point of view of Jane’s husband Wilson.
Before picking this book up I didn't even know there was another book after the notebook, but when I realised that this was a follow on from the notebook I knew that I just had to read it.
I was pretty excited to read this book, and was hoping to read another cute romance book but I was quite disappointed as I found this book quite boring. There was too much unnecessary detail in it that the book kind of dragged on for me and when I put it down I wasn't exactly excited to pick it up again.
The book is about Jane and Wilson, Wilson forgets their 29th anniversary, and obviously this makes Jane upset- this would make any women upset, so yeah I felt bad for her, but then she decides to go away for a while to live with her son and is thinking of divorcing Wilson. Poor Wilson knows that he’s going to lose Jane if he doesn't step up and be more romantic, but it’s going to be difficult for him as Jane’s dad is Noah and he basically sets the bar high for romance.
So Wilson goes off to Noah for some advice, and after this Wilson basically does little romantic things to try and woo Jane again. I don’t want to tell the whole story but the story is good but for me it was just too much extra detail which didn't really need to be there, and because of this I did get bored whilst reading the book.
There are parts in the book which are cute and romantic and in the last few chapters you will be shocked by what happens, but let me tell you it might take a while before you get there.
The overall story is good but I didn't really like the style of writing in this book.
