For the Love of Friends

A Novel

De: Sara Goodman Confino

Narrado por: Andrea Emmes

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?

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.

Great!

This was fun and enjoyable to read, 3.5

Crazy moments but I could relate to Lily at many levels.

Glad I got this one!

Just too predictable

I knew where this story was ending from the first few chapters. I kept hoping there was going to be a twist and was disappointed that it didn't really have one.

Loved the sarcastic humor...

Characters were very relatable. Made me laugh out loud 😀 My Audible subscription ran out in the middle of the book, so I renewed it to find out the ending....Nice twist in the final chapter! 👍
