Save the date for this funny and poignant novel of family, friendship,
letting go, and moving on by the award-winning author of Room to
Breathe.
Once upon a time, Melanie Layton and Tennyson O'Rourke were
inseparable--but their friends-4ever promises were shattered when an
explosive secret was revealed at Mel's wedding, a secret that destroyed
her family. The two haven't spoken for the past twenty-some-odd years,
and they'd be happy if they never crossed paths again.
But now Mel's daughter and Teeny's son have fallen in love--and
announced their engagement.
Which means the two women must tolerate one another and play nice long
enough to plan their children's dream wedding. From the beginning, they
clash. Melanie imagines a classy, elegant event, in keeping with
tradition. Teeny's vision is a bit more extravagant, and thanks to her
habit of marrying well, she's got the cash to plan the flashiest wedding
of the season.
Complicating matters are the men in their lives: Tennyson is falling for
the wrong guy, and Melanie is trying to hold on to a flailing marriage.
Amid the flurry of cake tastings, dress fittings, seating charts, and
bridal showers, Mel and Teeny confront their past mistakes--with twenty
years of pent-up drama.
When the day of the wedding finally arrives, their friendship might just
be something old and something new.
