It's about a very lavish wedding, like six figures lavish, that takes place on Nantucket Island. The bride's mother died 7 years previously and left an incredibly detailed wedding plan notebook for her youngest daughter since she knew she wouldn't live to see the wedding. This document is the blueprint by which everything occurs, and I never knew if I was supposed to find it charming or obnoxious. I mean, she planned the bouquet, the bridesmaid dresses, every tiny detail. And the youngest daughter never seems to be upset about this control freak from beyond the grave. I did this one on audio, and the narrator did a good job. There were lots of point of view characters and voices to keep track of. Not my favorite. I did not like most of the characters like Pauline, Ramona, Helen or Margo. I liked Jenna some. My own wedding was the wedding of my mother's dreams. She enjoyed all the details and I just to get it over. Especially when the church's air conditioning broke down in the middle of a heat wave. My aunt could have been right out of this book. My aunt took a very long bath before me, leaving with only enough time for a short shower! We were almost for the wedding, Was I angry, well maybe. Now it is a total comedy when I remember it, I received three identical pressure cookers from my aunts and each one of them asked me mot return the one that they had bought me! I felt the most of the characters were spoiled and did not care enough for each other. I keep remembering the ugly cost of the wedding!!! Mine cost $100 for the dress, $100 for the cake (I paid for) and $100 for the flowers. $ 75 for invitations. Wow, it is coming back, my sister in law, messed on the orders for rehearsal dinner. My second wedding was much better, we went to Las Vegas, got a cheap wedding package and our marriage is much better than the first one! In conclusion, I have decided to avoid reading about spoiled rich people who think they have problems/ I have loved many of theauthor's books but this one annoyed me! no reviews | add a review
