The Week Before the Wedding

Starred review from April 15, 2013
It is a week before Emily McKellips' wedding, and everything is perfect. She's marrying the perfect man: sexy, sweet, supportive Grant Cardin. Her in-laws can't wait to welcome Emily into their perfect family. And there couldn't be a more perfectly romantic setting for a wedding than Valentine, Vermont. But once Emily and Grant check in at the resort, everything starts to unravel. In between trying to keep the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom from declaring war on each other, Emily discovers that her ex-husband, Ryan Lassiter, just happens to be in Valentine. Ryan claims he is scouting locations for his next big horror flick, but Emily suspects her best friend and former stepsister, Summer, may have scripted his appearance. As the big day approaches, Emily finds herself constantly rethinking the wedding. Might she still be in crazy love with Ryan? Kendrick proves she is the leader of the pack when it comes to fashioning cheekily clever love stories, and her latest will delight readers with its delectably acerbic wit and charmingly complex characters.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
