    • The Wedding iDress
I am a romantic, even at 88 years old. And I believe in God and in Jesus Christ. I absolutely love this story. It fed my romantic soul and spirit. . I hope to find more books like this one in the future.

    • Wonderful story!!
I don't think I have ever read such an uplifting story of love. This clean, wholesome tale is also a lot different from other books I've read. Who would think such a great read could be about a wedding dress, of all things! But it's the parts that are understood, more those actually written that make the story worth reading. I highly recommend this book! ... show more

    • Christian Historical Romance
Review Image by Katie Bee
The Wedding Dress by Rachel Hauck 4⭐️ Christian Romance Format: Physical/Audio Book Book 11 of 2022 📚📚📚📚 I found this collection at @lightlyusedbooksturlock in their YA section and thought they looks good. Starting with The Wedding Dress I discovered that it wasn't YA but Christian Romance. This alone made me happy because I now have a book I can recommend to my faith based readers who want some feel good, mystery packed Romance with no spice. 100% PG. At first I was disappointed because it was really slow so I switched to listening to it on Audible. That helps a lot (even though the narrator killed me with her terrible Irish accent) I like the jump between time periods to progress the story and keep it suspenseful. One thing I didn't like was Charlotte's lack of ownership in her relationship with Tim. I found it slightly irritating. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this book. Note to readers who are not Christian. This book is very heavy on the faith aspect. It talks a lot about trusting God, accepting Jesus and it may come off as preachy. If that doesn't appeal to you then I do not recommend this book because there is really no looking past that in the story. ... show more

    • Amazing Story
Be still my heart!! A Christian romance with so much more. Spanning, not just a hundred years of history and romance, but a hundred years of personal relationships with Jesus! A wonderful, encouraging, heartfelt story showing where faith lead us in spite of the twists and turns of life.

    • A great story, but…
If your a Born Again Christian, you will love this book. It had too much religious zeal for me. I know that won’t bother many, but as an Agnostic, I found it bothersome. That said, the story of the dress is very compelling and hard to put down.

    • Interesting concept ruined in the execution
The short version: interesting story, decent characters, but purple prose and historical inaccuracies weaken this book. Some readers might be offended by the heavy-handed theology and/or the way the race and gender issues are handled in the book. Full review: First off, as many other reviewers have noted, this book is not clearly advertised as a Christian book, and yet spends a lot of time talking about God and Jesus. I will address the theological aspects of the book at the end of the review, but I tried to leave those out of my star ratings, and will first address the book's relative strengths and weaknesses sans Christianity. The book centers on a magic wedding dress that makes its way to different brides over a hundred year period. The bulk of the story is focused on two women: Emily, the 1912 bride for whom the dress is made (by a black seamstress), and Charlotte, the modern-day owner of a bridal salon whose own wedding is on hold as she and her fiance try to work through their problems. The characters and stories of each bride (including the two who are talked about but not a focus on the book) are interesting, as is the general concept. The dress, of course, is meant to stand in for something more, though the "more" that the author reveals in the author's note at the end of the book seems (at best) a weak comparison, since the seeds of that connection between the dress and what it stands for were not really sewn (pun intended) throughout the book. As a result, the book really seems to be about a dress until the author's note, when the author tacks on a "oh, yeah, this is what the dress means." Even so, the book could have been an interesting read, if not for a few big problems. First is the prose; the story can go on perfectly well for a few pages, but then the author throws in a phrase or a few sentences that are awkwardly purple. It's as though the author fell in love with an image or a turn of phrase and kept it in though it sounded awkward and out of place (I kept hearing Faulkner's voice in my head: "kill your darlings!"). These regular interruptions of what is, elsewhere, decent prose are a distraction. More than the prose, though, is the problem of the characters' voices and the anachronisms (which, in my mind, are related). All of the characters sound the same. Literally, all of them. When reading a passage of dialogue, it is impossible to tell who is saying what. Not only that, despite taking place in the vivid south, I felt like this story could have taken place anywhere. There was no local flavor, in the characters' voices or in the story itself. (Once or twice, the author would throw in a semi-southernism, like having a character who otherwise talks like a back-east educated lawyer suddenly saying that he feels like a "coon up a tree." This might have worked if it didn't sound so different from the rest of the character's speech and narration.) And certain words or phrases (like "Mercy" as an exclamation) were given to too many different characters to offer any punch. Meanwhile, there were all sorts of anachronisms in Emily's story, starting with the character herself. She describes herself as not being strong or rebellious, and yet she goes against the grain of society again and again. I just don't believe that a character who lived in Birmingham in 1912, and was as religious as she was, would be so quick to rebel against her parents and fiance, much less society. (Remember that this is the time when "good Christian women" were taught that racism and sexism was biblically based, much as "good Christians" today view homosexuality.) Her big hesitation was in going back on her word, not on the outrageous rebellion of being outright argumentative with her mother and fiance. (Today, her argumentation wouldn't be seen as un-Christian, or probably even all that rebellious, but then it certainly would have.) And, as if that weren't bad enough, the anachronisms of the story itself were distracting. For example, Emily's wedding, on New Year's Eve in 1912, took place in the "First Southern Methodist Church." That's amazing, since the SMC was not formed until 1940. Details like that abound and kept taking me out of the story. So, an interesting concept was ruined in the execution. For those interested, a word on the religion and race in this book. The Christianity in this book is very, very heavy-handed, to the point where it becomes pedantic. To each their own; I know some who like that. However, there are a lot of theological issues in this book that are specialized to certain corners of Christianity. If you object to God-as-magician (who walks around wearing a purple ascot and making sure brides get a pretty wedding dress), this is not the book for you. If you do not believe in tent revival healings or speaking in tongues, you also might be put off by some of the theology of the book. In addition, it is important to note that the way race is treated in this book falls under the trope of "white person as savior to black society," a trope that many find offensive. If you fall into that category, this is not the book for you. ... show more

    • Just a bit slow, but OK "good night"reading
Romance & a little cheating intrigue. Repeated "quandary" of feelings about class, elitist family nuances & prejudgment. Still manages to be kinda interesting & fun.
