Reviews of I Now Pronounce You Someone Else:

stars 1/2 -- FANTASTIC
“Top Pick! A classic story of identity and growing up, with a far happier ending than could be expected. McCahan's writing is engaging and her characters are so real they're ready to jump off the page. Any young woman will feel a kinship with Bronwen as she attempts to navigate some of life’s toughest choices.”
~RT Book Reviews

 

“I couldn’t put this book down. It was so much fun to read . . .”
~School Library Journal

 

"With scenes that prompt both laughter and tears, I Now Pronounce You Someone Else reveals Bronwen’s doubts, healing and discovery that her true family may have been surrounding her all along.”
~BookPage


"Fresh, funny, with a hero to-die-for, and charmingly written in a best-friend conversational style, I Now Pronounce You Someone Else is the perfect beach read...or perfect read for any season. Debut author Erin McCahan is a newcomer to watch!"
~ Tina Ferraro, Top Ten Uses for an Unworn Prom Dress

 

"Offering sharp wit and plenty of romantic interludes, first-time author McCahan captures the excitement and panic of a teenage girl on the fast track to becoming Mrs. Somebody. . . . Told in lively first-person narrative, this intelligent romance teaches a hard but relevant lesson about living dreams and letting them go."
~ Publishers Weekly

 

"A romance that does not fall into sentimentality is a rarity; McCahan strikes just the right note in her debut novel."
~ SIGNAL Journal

 

"If the idea of trying on new personalities as easily as new outfits has ever appealed to you, then you'll enjoy the quirky and outrageous mind of Bronwen Oliver. She's the thinking girl's perfect mix of sarcasm and idealism."
~ Justine Magazine

 

"This is one of the better contemporary YA titles I've read in several books. It was highly enjoyable, complex without being boring, and has a fabulous and intelligent female character as its lead protagonist."
~ YA Librarian Tales

 

"If this book isn't on your radar, put it there. You will laugh and maybe shed a few tears, but you will fall in love with these characters and miss them when it's over."
~ Pure Imagination
