Bride is a privileged budget, big publishing, good editor fleshed out plot, Kindle Unlimited-ish shape shifter novel.  Funny, sarcastic, beautifully heart felt at times, and cheesy.  That said, I enjoyed the book. I do wish It would have been told from multiple POVs instead of just Misery's.   Lark is an annoying, sexy mess.  How he can fly a plan and run a pack, but can't operate a computer or phone well.
