My thoughts:
I've been enjoying the Year of Wedding novellas and I really liked the storyline for An April Bride. Unfortunately, while I liked the story a lot, I wasn't a fan of the writing style and how characters would say something and then shortly thereafter seem to have forgotten what was said earlier/changed their mind. It got a little frustrating to me.
I really felt for both of the main characters. I have a soft spot for books dealing with amnesia/memory loss, because I can't imagine how horrible it would be to not remember your loved ones. The romance between Marshall and Stella was sweet. I enjoyed "watching" them work through their struggles to try and find the love and memories Marshall lost. It was great the way Stella helped Marshall try to remember things without pushing too hard.
Overall, An April Bride was a good story. I enjoyed reading it and recommend it to fans of contemporary novellas.
