Synopsis

Big Mouth, Big Heart, Big City . . . Big Problems

Things are looking up at last for Lizzie Nichols. She has a career she loves in the field of her choice (wedding gown restoration), and the love of her life, Jean-Luc, has finally proposed. Life's become a dizzying whirl of wedding gown fittings—not necessarily her own—as Lizzie prepares for her dream wedding at her fiancé's château in the south of France.

But the dream soon becomes a nightmare when the best man—whom Lizzie might once have accidentally slept with...no, really, just slept—announces his total lack of support for the couple, a sentiment seconded by the maid of honor; Lizzie's Midwestern family can't understand why she doesn't want to have her wedding in the family backyard; her future French in-laws are trying to lure the groom back into investment banking; and Lizzie finds herself wondering if her Prince Charming really is as charming as she once believed.

From Booklist:

Lizzie Nichols should be the happiest girl in the universe. The phone has been ringing off the hook ever since a wedding gown she restored appeared in the New York Times. Her wealthy ex-boyfriend, Luke de Villier, has decided their breakup was a mistake and has finally proposed. But Lizzie made the mistake of sleeping with Chaz, Luke’s best friend, during the brief hiatus in her relationship with Luke, and now she spends more time thinking about Chaz than her fiancé. In addition to an angst-ridden heroine and a loyal, waiting-in-the-wings hero, Cabot’s novel is filled with unforgettable, quirky characters. There’s Lizzie’s bad-mouthed, cooking sherry–guzzling granny; a spoiled, self-centered fiancé; a best friend who is a newly outed lesbian; and a high-strung assistant. Celebrities demanding a Lizzie Nichols’ creation include a familiar, gum-popping, red-carpet regular always accompanied by her shivering Chihuahua and bodyguard. To add to the fun, each chapter begins with wedding trivia and advice. Cabot, author of the humorous Heather Wells mysteries as well as the wildly popular Princess Diaries series, has once again shown that she is a master at entertaining and amusing readers. --Shelley Mosley
