Londoner Becky calls off her wedding to earnest lawyer Julian, then later marries him despite her steamy affair with black American rock star Zack (who has a weird accent: "yer" for "you"?). Her best friends Anouska and Kate rally to support her, except when they don't. The author is trying for a madcap romp, but it was mostly distasteful. (

Becky Steele stares in disbelief at the meringue dress for which she has drunk only skimmed water for four weeks to fit into. Why can't Becky commit to Julian, human rights lawyer, and her Knight in Shining Armani? Yes, Julian's the right man, but has she had enough wrong ones.… (more)
