Matrimony meets mayhem in Katy Birchall's The Secret Bridesmaid, a
modern British romcom about a young woman charged with pulling off the
biggest aristocratic wedding of the year--and the misadventures that
ensue.
Sophie Breeze is a brilliant bridesmaid. So brilliant, in fact, that
she's made it her full-time job.
As a professional bridesmaid, Sophie is hired by London brides to be
their right-hand woman, posing as a friend but working behind the scenes
to help plan the perfect wedding and ensure their big day goes off
without a hitch. When she's hired by Lady Victoria Swann--a former model
and "It Girl of 1970's London; now the Marchioness of Meade--for the
society wedding of the year, it should be a chance for Sophie to prove
just how talented she is.
Of course, it's not ideal that the bride, Lady Victoria's daughter,
Cordelia, is an absolute diva and determined to make Sophie's life a
nightmare. It's also a bit inconvenient that Sophie finds herself drawn
to Cordelia's posh older brother, who is absolutely off limits. But
when a rival society wedding is announced for the very same day, things
start to get...well, complicated.
Can Sophie pull off the biggest challenge of her career--execute a
high-profile gala for four hundred and fifty guests in record time, win
over a reluctant bride, and catch the eye of handsome Lord Swann--all
while keeping her true identity a secret, and her dignity intact?
Heartwarming and hilarious, Katy Birchall's The Secret Bridesmaid
celebrates the joys (and foibles) of weddings, the nuances of female
friendship, and the redeeming power of love in its many unexpected
forms.
