Publisher Description
Polly Atkins is getting married.
And her older sister Bella couldn't be more excited. Not only will Polly be home after five years in New York, but she's coming back to marry the most perfect man on the planet, Dev. Dresses, cake, first dance ... Bella's looking forward to getting stuck into the arrangements.
Polly's best friend Grace is just as excited. She's can't wait to walk down the aisle behind her childhood ally, especially as the stylish Polly wouldn't dream of dressing her bridesmaids in anything but the best, which will make a welcome change to the 'mum-wear' she's adopted since her second child was born.
The only person who doesn't seem to be bursting with enthusiasm is Polly. Which is why, before things can get any more chaotic, she calls the whole thing off. And there's no way she's going to tell them why. Some secrets are best kept hidden.
But she's reckoned without Grace and Bella, who are determined to get Polly and Dev back together if it's the last thing they do. After all, solving someone else's problems has got to be better than dealing with their own ...?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Polly Atkins is leaving New York and heading home to London to marry the perfect man in McQueen's charming newest (after Confetti Confidential), and her older sister, Bella, and best friend Grace couldn't be more excited. Unfortunately, Polly is less than enthused and calls off the wedding, refusing to explain her reasons. Though Bella and Grace have their own problems Bella can't conceive and her unreliable boyfriend, Jamie, won't help with an adoption; Grace is an overworked and underappreciated mother and homemaker both busy themselves with getting to the bottom of Polly's sudden change of heart. Meanwhile, Bella bemoans her childlessness and acclimates (and warms up) to Liam, an unwanted houseguest foisted upon her by Jamie, and Grace strikes up an affair with her husband's wealthy boss. In an attempt to reunite Polly with her beau, Bella invites him to her Christmas party, where the two reconnect. But nothing is sure until Polly comes clean about her troubled past. Readers will delight in McQueen's lovable cast, the dynamics of Grace's escapist romance, Bella's understated affection for Liam, and Polly's emotional revelation.
