Publisher's summary

A sharp and hilariously relatable novel about the business of weddings, the toll they can take, and the lengths one exasperated bridesmaid will go to for the love of friends.

Lily Weiss is her mother’s worst nightmare: thirty-two and single - the horror! She’s also a talented writer but hides behind a boring job at a science foundation. To her friends, she’s reliable and selfless, which is how she winds up a bridesmaid in five weddings in six weeks. Anything for her three best friends and two (younger) siblings, right? Even if her own love life is...well, she’d rather not talk about it. To keep her sanity, Lily needs a safe place to vent.

And so her anonymous blog, Bridesmania, is born. The posts start pouring out of her: all the feels about mom-zillas, her vanishing bank balance, the wicked bridesmaids of the west, high-strung brides-to-be, body-shaming dress clerks, bachelorette parties, and Spanx for days, not to mention being deemed guardian of eighty-eight-year-old Granny (who enjoys morning mimosas in the nude) for her brother’s destination wedding.

So far the blog has stayed anonymous. But as everyone knows, few things online remain secret forever...

When all is said and done, can Lily help all five couples make it to happily ever after? And will her own happy ending be close behind?

This was the perfect listen. I had not realized I needed a respite from some intense reading I had been doing. this was a perfect story to listen to. it left me feeling lighthearted and smiling. thanks for the enjoyment.

Loved it

Easy, lighthearted, fun reading. Kept my interest throughout the book. Great getaway. I read her other book “She’s up to no good”. Loved every minute of it. Same lighthearted getaway. Can’t wait to read “Don’t forget to write “

My type of jam

I felt I could relate to the characters being similar in age to myself as well as being single till my 30s. It was a fun read I didn't want to stop listening too.

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Lovee

Saying that I love this story felt like an understatement because I superrrrrrr love it! Oh, my Lily! I adore everything about her; she's that one person who will do anything and everything for her loved ones and a super real big sister. I felt so connected to her in so many ways. I love her friends too, especially Megan and Becca; they are both fantastic and sweet. And oh my Alex! He's charming, direct to the point, and knows how to dispose of a body 🤣 also, I seriously need to get my husband to leave me notes at Starbucks too because of him. This story is very charming, funny, and so relatable, Lily’s life, her relationships with her friends and family, and the love story are so realistic, and I'm so drawn to it. Did I say I super love this story? Get yourself a copy and enjoy this book with a vanilla latte! You will love this too, I promise!

Probably best to read- very funny!

I started this in kindle and finished it in Audible. The narrator’s voice was not at all how I expected and was very annoying to me. Not much inflection. Reading it was so entertaining! Love this author!

Cute story, some annoying voices

Some characters were whiney. But overall the story was really funny and relatable! A cute, light, easy read!

The storytelling. It was so good in all three books.

Not a thing. Need more books to read. Get to work. The end. Ok submit already.

I loved the writing I listened while driving and laughed out loud by myself!!!

Definitely worth reading!!!! The way she describes everything you swear you can see it all!!!
