Product Description
Today is the big day ? Abbie Vincent's best friend, Samantha Patterson, is getting married and, as chief bridesmaid, she's taking her duties very seriously! Abbie's utterly determined that the wedding will go off without any hitches. However, with Sam's good-intentioned (if overbearing) parents, her obnoxious teenage sister and her brother's tantrum-prone little boy to keep in check, disaster is only a heartbeat away. And to top it off, though Abbie's never forgiven their old best friend's betrayal of their friendship, Sam has some misguided notion of burying the hatchet by inviting her to the wedding. It's supposed to be the bride who gets nervous before the wedding but unlucky-in-love Abbie's on tenterhooks in case anything goes wrong and ruins Sam's special day ? she's even willing to put her lack of faith in romance to the side. However, she's so busy ensuring that everything runs smoothly that she doesn't even notice that things are not as they should be: all eyes are not actually on the blushing bride...

I love chick lit and I especialy love 'wedding' chick lit. Reading about the absolute crazyness that goes into the preparation of what is supposed to be a girl's most memorable day is such fun and I have to say that author Olivia Ryan has nailed it right on!
We find our main character Abbie. She is the bridesmaid and takes her responsiblity very seriously - except that between trying to comfort the gone-shy, petrified to be left at the altar bride, playing babysitter and generally trying to make the day memorable for all, Abbie finds herself in an almost impossible situation.
I laughed out loud at many of the events described in this book. The old 'if it can go wrong - it will' saying was never truer than in this storyline.
But what I also loved about this book was that despite the hilarious parts and the absolutely well described crazed moments, there were some seriously touching scenes. I loved the Abbie character who has her own 'marriage/relationship' issues and I thought that the author managed to merge the storylines smoothly and wonderfully.
This read was such fun and I came away from the book happy and with a fond memory for the storylines and for Abbie.
This is a definite yes in my book - thank god I am not going to be anybody's bridesmaid in the near future.

This was the first olivia Ryan book I read and was totally addicted from page one, although it is classic chick lit and the whole book is centred on one day, its gripping and fun!! really highly recommended!
