The Kari AnnAlysis

If you’ve ever seen Wedding Crashers, the part where Will Ferrell has turned into a funeral crasher, well that’s the life of Fleur. Fleur’s ultimate goal is to get the big bucks. To do that, she scours funerals, trying to find a widower who can support her life. She weasels her way in, gains their trust and runs of with their trust, money that is.

But this time, her daughter Zara has gotten involved and this may be her final go round.

I picked up this book because I loved every Sophie Kinsella book and read them all in a very short period of time. Well, you all know that Sophie Kinsella is actually Madeeline Wickham. Unfortunately, I liked the books better when Sophie wrote them.

This book just didn’t do it for me. I thought it was extremely predictable, I didn’t really like the characters and I caught myself skimming for something to catch my attention quite a bit. There was one part of the book, in the last third, that I thought gave it hope, but it wasn’t enough to rectify it.

I will still probably BookMooch other Wickham books (that’s where I got this one), with high hopes that this was just a fluke. I only give Gatecrasher 2 bookmarks.
