A hilarious and heartwarming debut novel of big dreams, big days, and even bigger lies...

Molly Harrigan has always dreamed of the perfect wedding, she just never thought she'd be in scores of them as the bridesmaid. Now on her thirtieth birthdayâ??after her younger, married sister announces that she's pregnantâ??Molly's old dream takes on an all-new urgency.

It doesn't help matters that her best friend Brad drops the bomb that he's engaged to his spoiled brat of a girlfriend. Devastated, Molly does what almost no one in the same situation would do. With a giant wedding fund burning a hole in her pocket (courtesy of her late, beloved grandmother), Molly hires a fiancé.

Now armed with the perfect boyfriend, Molly stages a whirlwind courtship, engagement, and grand-ballroom-style wedding. Lying to her friends and family is a small price to pay for cake-tastings, gift registries, and dress fittings. But lying to herself could cost Molly her one chance at true loveâ??with a man whose feet are turning as cold as her… (plus d'informations)

I thought, from reading the overview on the back of the book, I could get into this light hearted romp about a newly 30 woman wanting a wedding NOW! Her grandma left Molly a dream wedding fund in her will, and its burning a hole in her pocket. She hires a gay escort and they hatch a whirlwind courtship plan, with the ultimate goal that would end with the "fiancee" leaving her at the altar, because then she could keep the gifts and have her reception. What I thought would be a fun read, turned into a treatise on a self absorbed woman. I found the whole family annoying the way they were written. The writing was almost frantic in trying to show action "and then I had to ..." "I ran over here" ....it was a list of action that was meant to fold you into the frantic life Molly must get ready for her ultimate day the constant droppings of action felt forced. Instead of a gentle telling, it was more like massive ploppings, and I just couldn't get into the story. The best friend story was weird. Of course they're going to get together in the end, but the back and forth, I miss you, can't we see each other, get away you don't understand, I don't need this, dialogue just had me wanting to stop reading the story.I don't have much to recommend the story. I liked the hired fiancee, wish I had one of those in my life. ( )
