Publisher's summary

A heartwarming, hilarious novel for anyone who has ever had a family, from the author of Lift and Separate.

After a lifetime of marriage, Marcy Hammer is ready to get herself unhitched - just as everyone else in her life is looking for a commitment. Her new boyfriend, Jon, wants to get serious, and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Harvey, is desperate to get back together. When her headstrong daughter announces a secret engagement to Harvey’s attorney, Marcy finds herself planning her daughter’s wedding as she plans her own divorce.

Now with two huge events on the horizon, the indomitable Marcy soon realizes that there’s nothing like a wedding to bring out the worst in everybody. From petty skirmishes over an ever-growing guest list to awkward confrontations with her sticky-fingered new in-laws, pulling off the wedding is going to be a challenge; seeing her divorce through is going to be a trial. And trying to make everyone happy might prove to be impossible - because in the end, Marcy alone must make a choice between something old and something new.

Really hilarious and I loved the main characters

This was a funny and heartwarming romp through Marcy's life. The characters are just unique, and funny, and real to me and they all have their distinct personalitiies, some of them you love and some not so much. Pamela Almand just does a great job of doing this and I hope that the author does more with Marcy and her family and that Miss Almand reads them all. I will listen to them all and want to listen to the first one, too.

Fabulous read! Amazing performance

What a marvelous light read. I was just told there is a prequel to this one called Lift And Separate that I plan to read next.
I loved the characters and how they developed through the story. I loved the sarcasm and interactions. Simply a wonderful book

Funny and warm listen to brighten your day

This just kept me chuckling and I loved it even more than the first one. This narrator really nailed the personalities of all the characters and you really liked them all! Even the annoying ones ended up having some good shining through and I had a good time listening to this. I didn't want it to end! Please can we have some more! What an enjoyable romp into family, in-laws, marriage and divorce, and starting all over again. Author and narrator are a great combination.

Great book!

The narrator was wonderful, in my opinion, and did a great job of keeping me engaged in the story. It was an interesting storyline for me as I'm not much of a reader/listener but this kept my attention and I actually finished the entire book.
