My Review:
This is a great funny story of a group of friends who have known each other from schooldays and have kept in touch to varying degrees within the group; some are still close, others have drifted a little. The story is told from jilted bride Jane's point of view after fiancée Andy ditches her by text in the middle of her hen night. It has taken a while, but the emotional scars are beginning to heal and she is tentatively getting her confidence back, flat-sharing with another lad, Freddie from her school days - it's all totally platonic, purely for financial reasons as they are able to tolerate each other sufficiently to share a living space.
Best friend Rach has helped nurse Jane back to normality alongside Freddie, but suddenly drops the bombshell that she is getting married! It's the first dalliance with weddings since Jane and Andy's non-event and Rach is cautiously excited in making her announcement. Of course, the girls have many friends in common who will be invited to the ceremony including the infamous Andy so Jane has to get herself sorted emotionally quick-smart in order to be Rach's chief bridesmaid.
This is where Zara Stoneley's ability to write fabulous humour really starts to kick in. By the time I had reached halfway through the book I had wiped tears of both amusement and upset from my eyes. There seem to be a multitude of secrets hidden between the various members of the group, and with the addition of cocktails and other alcoholic beverages the truth seems to get tangled in a mass of misunderstanding.
By the time the wedding day rolls around Jane's head is in a complete spin regarding who knows what about whom and whether the beans should be spilt before or after the ceremony - if indeed at all.
I really enjoyed this book which throws up some interesting moral dilemmas and demonstrates just how difficult it is - or not - to find Your One.
If you like a good rom com which will have you spilling tears one minute and your drink the next (from a fit of the giggles) this is definitely one for you. Because at the end of the day, girl friends are always there for one another aren't they?
