Father of the Bride meets Sixteen Candles in the latest novel from
New York Times best-selling author Morgan Matson.
Charlie Grant's older sister is getting married this weekend at their
family home, and Charlie can't wait - for the first time in years, all
four of her older siblings will be under one roof. Charlie is desperate
for one last perfect weekend before the house is sold and everything
changes. The house will be filled with jokes and games and laughs again.
Making decisions about things like what college to attend and reuniting
with longstanding crush Jesse Foster - all that can wait. She wants to
focus on making the weekend perfect.
The only problem? The weekend is shaping up to be an absolute disaster.
There's the unexpected dog with a penchant for howling, the house alarm
that won't stop going off, and a papergirl with a grudge. There are the
relatives who aren't speaking, the (awful) girl her favorite brother
brought home unannounced, and a missing tuxedo. Not to mention the
neighbor who seems to be bent on sabotage and a storm that is bent on
drenching everything. The justice of the peace is missing. The band will
play only covers. The guests are all crazy. And the wedding planner's
nephew is unexpectedly, distractingly...cute.
Over the course of three ridiculously chaotic days, Charlie will learn
more than she ever expected about the family she thought she knew by
heart. And she'll realize that sometimes, trying to keep everything like
it was in the past means missing out on the future.
