From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the hit Virgin River series. In this hilarious contemporary romance tale from Robyn Carr, readers are swept into a conflicted bride’s whirlwind journey to the most chaotic wedding event of the year. After her divorce, Charlene Dugan vowed never to get married again—a promise she has kept for twenty-five years. Until the fateful day she finds herself uttering the well-known phrase—”Let’s get married!” Almost immediately, Charlene’s seemingly perfect life begins unraveling at the seams. Daughter Stephanie’s own relationship is about to disintegrate, and she might be just a teensy-weensy bit jealous of her mom. And Charlene seems to be spending more time with her ex-husband than with her fiancé, Dennis. What’s more confusing is that Dennis doesn’t seem to mind too much. In fact, he sees the wedding consultant more often than Charlene does. The wedding party is now officially out of control. They’re calling for rain and the bride has cold feet. This isn’t exactly what Charlene had in mind. But maybe it’s not too late to finally decide on who and what she really wants. Previously published .

There was a point in this book that I was afraid. Afraid that I wouldn't be able to find any redeeming qualities in the heroine, Charlene. And believe me, it was somewhat hard to do. It's not that she is a terrible person, but she is so oblivious to what her actions do to those around her that I wanted to shake her!
Then there is Charlene's daughter, Stephanie. Her I just wanted to smack. Luckily, the reader gets to see Stephanie's transformation and can even almost forgive her attitude by the end.
Without giving anything away I want to let you know that as much as those women drove me crazy, I had no harsh feelings toward Charlene's fiancé Dennis at all.
The storyline about Charlene's mom Lois was wonderfully written. I don't think it's too spoiler-ish to say she is getting either Alzheimer's or dementia and it's just heart-breaking. Being such an avid reader myself I was instantly sobbing when poor Lois has a moment when she is unable to read the words in a book. How terrifying! Robyn Carr certainly has a way with words and knows how to tug the heart strings.
This was probably my least favorite Carr book so far, but it was still a good read and I would still recommend it to all who like her other books.
0A little crowded, but fun.
