“By mistake I read this book before the first installment "To Die For" and I have to say I loved it all the same. It's very funny and witty, sometimes I just couldn't stop laughing. Blair and Wyatt are great together even though they're fighting nearly the whole time.

I love the idea of a "list of transgressions". I think I should apply this in real life. This should be real fun. ”
“Love it! Great read!”

Another look into Blair Mallory's life is the premise for this book. As sequels go this one was good. After reading some of the other reviews I would have to say that yes, this book was kind of a rehash of the first book but as I read To Die For quite a few years ago it wasn't fresh in my mind. I might suggest that a reader might space these two books out a bit unless you really don't mind repetition.
Blair loves her boyfriend Wyatt and is thrilled with the thought of marrying him. She also loves tormenting him and trying to get the upper hand in their verbal battles. With a cop as a boyfriend this is often difficult but she loves the sport of trying anyway. In one of these attempts she fails to be the victor and finds her wedding date decided by Wyatt. Either plan a wedding of her liking to take place in 30 days or off to Vegas they go. For a high maintanence gal like Blair Vegas is so "Out". After all Britney did it and who wants to follow her crazy example.
I loved reading about Blair again. I get her. Yes she is pretty high maintanence but she maintains herself thank you very much and doesn't expect anyone else to do it. She has a quirky habit of listing Wyatt's current transgressions which she leaves on the kitchen counter for him to read at a later time. After all, he is a man and really doesn't have a clue as to what he does wrong most of the time. She also has a tendency to list all tasks she needs to do starting with the ones she feels she can easily do and then working her way to the heavy stuff that she doesn't feel ready to handle. So her lists tend to say things like...
1-Find Dress For Wedding (going shopping in 10 minutes)
2-Get Jazz and Sally back together (arrange meeting with Jazz later)
3-Figure out who tried to run me over with a Buick (maybe tomorrow)
As a list maker I highly approve of her ways. I enjoyed her taking me on a journey through one crisis after another and then, finally, her wedding day.
As a romance book I would say that this might not satisfy some romance readers. It isn't about boy meets girl and falls in love. It starts with the couple already there. It is now the journey to their happily ever after. Also this book is written in the first person. This can be offputting to some. I had forgotten that her first book was in the first person so it took me a bit to get use to it but after a chapter or two I really enjoyed seeing the world through Blair's eyes.
In addition to this being a romance there was quite a bit of suspense (see #3 above). Blair knows that someone is stalking her. That coupled with a couple not quite accidents convinces her that someone is really trying to kill her. Unfortunately at one point it seems that her loving cop boyfriend thinks she might just be a drama queen.
