Advantages: Funny, vengeful, loveable

Disadvantages: Far fetchs, not romantic enough

Amanda's wedding is a book that propelled Jenny Colgan in to Chick Lit notriety!

This did remind me of films like 'My best friends wedding'esque drama.
Mel is in a unique position - everyone has school enemies, but Mel has become embroiled in her frenemies wedding!!!

And of course she likes the groom. Along with Fran (the wild one - there is always one), they navigate (stumble through) the formalities. By this point her feelings for the clueless laird make her even more blunderous and more loveable.

Even in text Amanda is venemous. For anyone with the slightest compassion this makes Mel everymore the heroine. Amanda is shameless and callous in her entries in the novel and this does stretch to almost to bad to be believeable but is rescued by the comic factor.

One downside I found is that although the male character (somewhat central to the plot) are well thought out and characterised the romance factor is played down.

Summary: Ultimate hilarious revenge
