The Best Day of Someone Else's Life — Kerry Reichs
THE STORY OF A SERIAL BRIDESMAID WHO DISCOVERS EVERYTHING SHE NEVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT WEDDINGS -- AND MORE THAN SHE EVER IMAGINED ABOUT LOVE
Thirteen Very Humiliating Moments...
Eleven trips down the aisle...
Nine one-wear-only dresses...
Seven insincere congratulations...
Six seriously regretted hook-ups...
Four allergic reactions...
Too many hangovers...
And
One reality check about the meaning of it all... all setting her back a mere Fifty Grand!
Despite being cursed with a boy's name, Kevin "Vi" Connelly is seriously female and a committed romantic. The affliction hit at the tender age of six when she was handed a basket of flower petals and ensnared by the "marry-tale." The thrill, the attention, the big white dress--it's the Best Day of Your Life, and it's seriously addictive. But at twenty-seven, with a closetful of pricey bridesmaid dresses she'll never wear again, a trunkful of embarrassing memories, and an empty bank account from paying for it all, the illusion of matrimony as the Answer to Everything begins to fray. As her friends' choices don't provide answers, and her family confuses her more, Vi faces off against her eminently untrustworthy boyfriend and the veracity of the BDOYL.
Eleven weddings in eighteen months would send any sane woman either over the edge or scurrying for the altar. But as reality separates from illusion, Vi learns that letting go of someone else's story to write your own may be harder than buying the myth, but just might help her make the right choices for herself.
