Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life returns with her trademark blend of sparkling wit and playful romance in this page-turning story of a wedding to remember—and a honeymoon to forget.
“Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover
Lottie just knows that her boyfriend is going to propose, but then his big question involves a trip abroad—not a trip down the aisle. Completely crushed, Lottie reconnects with an old flame, and they decide to take drastic action. No dates, no moving in together, they’ll just get married . . . right now. Her sister, Fliss, thinks Lottie is making a terrible mistake, and will do anything to stop her. But Lottie is determined to say “I do,” for better, or for worse.
Praise for Wedding Night
“[A] fun novel that’s as light and bubbly as a glass of wedding champagne.”—USA Today
“Filled with laugh-out-loud moments, this is Sophie Kinsella at her wittiest. . . . An engrossing novel.”—Bookreporter

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestselling author Kinsella (Confessions of a Shopaholic) offers a departure from standard chick-lit and shopping with her latest. Charlotte "Lottie" Graveney is positive her boyfriend Richard is about to pop the question over lunch but when he confesses the topic he wanted to speak about was air miles, she's out of there. When her gap-year boyfriend Ben suddenly returns to her life and immediately proposes, Lottie jumps at the chance. Felicity "Fliss" Graveney, Lottie's sister, is significantly less excited. Fliss, who is going through her own divorce, knows her sister's impulsiveness well so when Ben and Lottie head to a five-star resort in Greece for their honeymoon, Fliss uses her connections as editor of a travel magazine to try to prevent the pair from consummating their marriage so that Lottie might be convinced into an annulment. Alternatively told from the points of view of Lottie and Fliss, the story meanders (especially when a minor character interjects without much reason to) before delivering a surprise ending, but Kinsella fans will be charmed.
Customer Reviews
Wedding Night
This book was funny, light and witty. I love the story of the sister and how sisters love each other. The book kept me entertained throughout, I could put it down. A great summer read.
Pass
I usually enjoy Kinsella books, but this one was hard to finish. Meh.
Not Impressed
This book should never have been written, one of the worst booked I have ever read.
