An intimate, sharply funny novel about a couple heading toward their wedding, and the three friends who may draw them apartMeet Celine and Luke--for all intents and purposes the happy couple. Luke (a serial cheater) and Celine (more interested in piano than in domestic life) plan to marry in a year. Archie (the best man) should be moving on from his love for Luke and up the corporate ladder, but he finds himself utterly stuck. Phoebe (the bridesmaid and Celine’s sister) just wants to get to the bottom of Luke’s frequent unexplained disappearances. And Vivian (a wedding guest), as the only one with any emotional distance, observes her friends like ants in a colony. As the wedding approaches and these five lives intersect, each will find themselves looking for a path to their happily ever after--but does it lie at the end of an aisle?
I didn't love this as much as this author's last book but it was still interesting and a quick read. Although I couldn't understand any character in this book's motivations, it was written well and I look forward to reading more from this author. I wouldn't necessarily want to read this if you were about to get married but maybe it is just me and that wouldn't bother you.
This needs to end. Please understand. We can't even be friends, because it stops me from accepting that we'll never be anything more. Loneliness wasn't having no one. Loneliness was the gap between what you hoped for and what you got.
