Synopses & Reviews
What do you do after you walk down the aisle at four weddings over
the course of just a few months none of them your own? What's left
after you've donned the must-have-not dresses of the season, forked
over your cash, and fake-smiled your way through countless photos?
After you've dealt with the smashed guest, the mushed cake, the dashed
hopes, and the missed bouquets? That's what Cate Padgett is starting to
wonder, as she embarks on stint after stint on the sidelines, watching
friends swap bar-hopping for baby-naming... while her own love life
goes nowhere fast. But is Cate unwilling to settle down or just
unwilling to settle? And can anyone really judge her if they haven't
walked in her dyed-to-match shoes?
Wild, witty, and full of weddings to cry over, Always the
Bridesmaid is an endearingly romantic comedy about standing out in
the crowd even when everyone's wearing the same celery-green dress... and daring to make every day The Happiest Day of Your Life.
Review
"A charming, rollicking commentary on weddings in the twenty-first
century. I loved the Jane Austen-ish heroine." Jeanne Ray, author of Eat Cake
