Publisher Description
Meet Lily Wilder: New Yorker, lawyer extraordinaire, blushing bride. And totally incapable of being faithful to one man.
Lily’s fiancé Will is a brilliant, handsome archaeologist. Lily is sassy, impulsive, fond of a good drink (or five) and has no business getting married. Lily likes Will, but does she love him? Will loves Lily, but does he know her? As the wedding approaches, Lily’s nights—and mornings, and afternoons—of booze, laughter and questionable decisions become a growing reminder that the happiest day of her life might turn out to be her worst mistake yet.
Unapologetically sexy with the ribald humor of Bridesmaids, this joyously provocative debut introduces a self-assured protagonist you won’t soon forget.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kennedy's debut novel sparkles with candor and wit as one woman counts down the week before her wedding. Lily Wilder is working at a Manhattan law firm and planning her Key West wedding and a deposition there. Her fiance, Will, is an archaeologist, whom she truly loves. There's just one problem Lily believes that she is incapable of being faithful. She has repeatedly cheated on him during the time they have been together and continues to cheat while in the Keys in the days leading up to her wedding. She sees the relationships of her father with his ex-wives as foretelling her own issues with fidelity. Yet Lily doesn't regret anything about her past behavior until her future mother-in-law threatens to reveal skeletons from Lily's closet that could possibly destroy her relationship with Will and end her law career. Kennedy's ribald story is both engaging and atypical, the perfect combination for a new voice in women's fiction.
Customer Reviews
Awesome book!
Amazingly well written, funny and thought provoking. Loved it!
Complex and Thought Provoking Tale
A great tale that has gripped me into reading it straight through. So unlike my situation, but intriguing. Nearly 73 years old, married nearly 50, retired for 5, we have had a very mild version of this tale. Now we spend a lot of time pleasuring each other with long kisses, touching, incredible orgasms, and exploring new ways to enjoy ourselves.
Can't wait for your next book.
