Tagline: Viola, the last single woman in her friend group, reconnects with Adam, a former classmate, while preparing to be her best friend's maid of honor. Could this reunion amid wedding preparations lead to romance?
Observations: I really identified with the character who made me remember when all my sorority sisters were getting married. It's a forlorn feeling, going to a wedding at which you want to be happy for the couple but are secretly and sadly envious.
I thought this was a cute premise--meeting someone from your past--a guy you secretly admired--at the tailor shop. And who hasn't dreamed of being wanted by Mr. Popular? This is a fantasy fulfillment story, for sure.
Mrs. Choo was a cute secondary character who was kind of a matchmaker but more of an encourager, which was amusing.
I have no idea what "lake effect snow" is. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Also, I was very puzzled at Mrs. Choo's statement, "She sins most of the time too." I was like, whaaat? Weird that the tailor would comment on something like that, but then I figured out it was probably a typo. It was probably supposed to be "wins," which makes total sense. That just goes to show you, you shouldn't rely on spellcheck!

Kate, lake effect snow is the heavy snow they get by the Great Lakes, like the snow Buffalo, NY gets all the time in the winter. It was a cute story. Many stories have the couple meeting at the wedding, so it was interesting that they met at the tailor's before the wedding. I also wondered about the word sins. I looked back and wins does make more sense!
Thanks for the info! I'm a Southern California gal, so I don't know about all that snow stuff!
You're welcome, Kate. I don't live in that part of the country, but I do know snow!
