MY REVIEW
I am going to keep this pretty short, which isn't hard since it's a novella. First off, I read this in a little over an hour. I got an email on Friday asking if I wanted to review it, of course I said yes, and I got it delivered via UPS today! I immediately started reading it and was done in no time. I have actually read more novellas this month (so far) then I have read all year long.
So, as you can probably tell from the synopsis and title this is the story of Travis and Abby's wedding. The bulk of the novella takes place over the course of 24 hours. I can't remember exactly how this all comes about in the books, but I know that they just show up married and no one knows the story behind it. Well, this is the story behind all that.
This starts right after the fire that kills a bunch of students that were at one of the underground fights. In fact they are in the apartment just after they have showered the remnants of the fire away. It's a spur of the moment decision for Travis, but it's a little more calculated on Abby's end. Her intentions are good and she's thought it all out, but even she has reservations about it right up to the moment she walks down the aisle.
There are some beautifully touching moments in this story and I found myself fighting tears on more than one occasion. The most touching is the letter that Travis' mother writes to the woman that he chooses to marry. He has saved it all these years and the moment he chooses to give it to Abby is perfect and it's so beautiful to read. I lost my mother when I was young and I wish that I'd had something like that from her to read on my wedding day.
I loved this novella and it was the perfect addition to this series. I know that in my reviews of the other books I complained about not really liking Abby so much, but I did like her in this one...just not as much as Travis still! If you have read and enjoyed the other books then I highly recommend picking this one up. My only complaint is the price point, I think it's a little too pricey for a novella so I would probably pick it up from the library or wait to find it on sale.
