Synopsis
Darcy Van Aiken is doing fine, thank you. She’s an ICU nurse with an “amicable” divorce from her husband Mike, two great kids, a cute little house of her own, and a prescription for Ritalin. When her older son Jeremy gets engaged, Darcy has to figure out if Rose, the bride’s mother, is going to be her new best friend or the mother-in-law who insists that all future holidays be celebrated in her home.
Meanwhile Claudia, Darcy’s ex-husband’s new girlfriend, beautifully dressed with perfect taste, can’t help thinking she would make a much better mother-of-the-groom than Darcy. It’s a battle of will and wits. What Darcy learns about herself —and about family, and friendship—makes for a delicious, hilarious, touching read.

Great Summer Read if you've got a wedding coming upby Anonymous

August 18, 2009: Any of the Baby Boomers who have been part of wedding planning will love this well written, quick read. It covers divorced families, mother-in-laws, driven parents ignoring children, and lots of other "every day life" experiences that make you feel in any number of places like "she's writing about my family experience". And best of all, each element of the story is written with deep development of the characters, so that it becomes a page-turner within a few pages. A perfect, fun and witty summer escape.
