The Man You'll Marry

Yeah, yeah I got this book. It is by Debbie Macomber and after listening to One Simple Act I was really interested to see what her writing was like.
It back reads,
The wedding dress was made many years ago, and it came with a promise: The first man you meet . . . is the man you'll marry. Shelly Hansen was horrified when her great-aunt's wedding dress arrived - because, according to family legend, she was destined to marry the next man she met. So when she tripped on an escalator and fell into Mark Brady's arms, she told him - and herself - that she wasn't interested in marriage. But then she started seeing him everywhere . . .. Coincidence?
After her own wedding, Shelly sends her best friend, Jill Morrison, the dress - which is delivered to Jill's hotel in Hawaii, But at least the man she sat beside on the plane - gorgeous grouch Jordan Wilcox - can't be the man in question, can he? She met him before she got the dress!

I picked this one because I had listened to a This American Life episode where the great grandma had made baby pants for a boy and a dress for a girl. The women in the family then started sending either the pants of the dress to each other when the were pregnant and the clothes were always the predictor of the sex of the baby. It was a fun story. This lasted for almost 20 births. So hey, maybe a wedding dress could do it too.

Of course it was formulaic but she did a nice job. It was clean too. I am sure this is a big draw. Needless to say the woman knows what she is doing. 100 million copies of her books in print.

7 hours long on CD so likely not to bad of a read, maybe 300 pages. Nice fluff to wrap presents by.
