Publisher's summary

Book one in the USA Today best-selling McMaster the Disaster series.

Josephine McMaster is pretty and smart, but very much a klutzy mess. Finally, at 26, she may have actually lost the dreaded 'McMaster the Disaster' nickname that has followed her around her whole life.

Josie's quite content to be single, much to her mother's disappointment. So when a bizarre contest is announced where a socialite is holding a lottery to pick her bridesmaids (and rake in a little extra cash), she can't roll her eyes fast enough, even if it does mean meeting Jake Hall, her one and only movie star crush. Obviously, Josie doesn't enter the bridesmaid lottery, so you can imagine her surprise when her picture pops up among the winners, thanks to Mom. With a little prodding - okay bribing - Josie agrees to participate.

The wedding turns into the event of the year, and Josie finds herself in the middle of a paparazzi feeding frenzy, which gets even crazier after Jake Hall takes a special interest in her. Can Josie handle the pressure in the spotlight? Is it possible she might really have a chance with Jake Hall? And if she's busy worrying about all that, how in the heck is she going to keep 'McMaster the Disaster' from showing up in front of the entire world?

Pretty Entertaining!

I don't normally read this genre of books but I saw it pop up on my suggested list and thought, why not? I was hooked from the very beginning. It is lighthearted and funny with her constant disaster journal entries. I really really loved the book and have downloaded the next two excitedly looking forward to them.

Quite funny

Í just finished the book and it was exactly what Í needed, á Sweet and funny Chick lit.

Just ok story

There were so many times that I wanted to reach through the book and strangle the main character. She acted like such a teenager, juvenile bantering, not telling her mother she was no longer 15, and many other things. There was very little romance, like only about 6 kisses and... well that's about the extent of the romance portion. Now, the major thing that I couldn't stand is the amount of "...she said" "He said..." "...I said" "She said..." "I said...". It really got to the point to where I was constantly pointing them out to myself. Narrator was very good and talented with her separate voices per character.

Should Be in the Young Adult Category

I couldn’t handle this the characters voices for the other characters. I kept fast forwarding and still finish the book
Mm

Looooove it

I can't believe I binged this series without leaving a review! I've read and listened to the series multiple times, as a "master the disaster" of fact. I love it! It's my go to contemporary series. Nice, clean, and funny. PLEEEEESE check it out!

What a prize!

This book was the prize. Fun, funny and thoroughly entertaining this crazy romp was a delightful escape!
With witty banter, imaginative frolic and excellent narration.

Essentially clean, totally humorous, I truly enjoyed it.

Absolutely a fun read

What a fun time this audible book was. Romantic comedy displaying people and situations that are believable and pull the reader into the story.
Angele Masters does a great job in the narration of this story.
If you like a good romantic and flirty story with out the explicit scenes and situations. Then This is a must have Audible.

great book

Love the story, love the characters. cute book with a cute story. I'm a fan of these types of stories.

Protagonist is annoying

Cute concept, but the protagonist's self-doubt, cynicism, mother issues, jealous roommate, gay best friend-cum-stylist, etc. were all a bit cliché for my taste. Plus, the narrating left something to be desired.

Fun light romance but . . . .

This is a fun, light romance, good for a summer read. However, there are 2 more books one must read to finish the storyline.

My biggest complaint is that this author consistently uses "I" and "Me" incorrectly. What? Was there no proofreading? Are there no longer editors in the publishing world? It wasn't just once or twice but MANY, MANY TIMES throughout the book. It was so bad that I almost didn't finish and am seriously thinking about writing the author a letter to suggest she repeat some high school english classes. Or she may be young enough that she went through our current public schools that are more concerned with political indoctrination than teaching the basic "Three Rs".
