Gail Baines is a little stressed out. Mother of the bride (the wedding is tomorrow), she may have quit her job, she was not invited to the pre wedding spa day planned by the mother of the groom, and to top it off – her ex husband, Max, shows up on her doorstep with a foster-to-adopt cat announcing that he (they) will need to stay with her for the wedding because where he was planning to stay can not do cats.
Are. You. Kidding. Me.
When Gail’s daughter shares a secret that not only leaves the wedding in jeopardy, it also stirs up the not-so-pleasant past for Gail and Max.
In a word. Fun. This book I listened to on audio was short – surprisingly so and honestly, if I had noticed that before selecting, I may have passed on it as I do like to feel there was time for a full story. While I am left with questions as the book could have gone deeper, it was still a fun little listen with engaging characters and a great narration.
If you are looking for just a little something while doing a little road trip or working on a project… this could be a good fit for you. Nothing real crazy, just a fun little read.
Rated: 2.75 out of 5 (only because its shortness left some things unfinished that I would have liked to have known more about)

Interesting – I found it a sort of distilled Tyler, so a lot of her usual themes but in a shorter book. But then I’ve read all her novels! I’d recommend French Braid as a recent longer and good one, or of course one of the famous earlier ones.
