Description

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade—or, in Piper Brody’s case, make a Craigslist ad offering yourself up as a hired bridesmaid! A hilarious, touching, coming-of-age novel from debut author Anne Wagener.

Piper is a recent college grad who decides to sell her body on Craigslist—as a hired bridesmaid. Her airport bookseller job just isn’t bringing home the turkey bacon, and no one’s going to pay her to analyze Milton’s poetry. Turns out, having an English literature degree from an upstanding university isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Piper’s Craigslist endeavor soon picks up steam, netting her clients such as Southern peach Stacey, whose interracial marriage causes a family feud, and Alex, a bride-to-be who’s so type A she’s type A-plus. Between fighting off matching T-shirt–wearing teams of “bustle bitches” at gown sales and learning more about fondant than the Cake Boss, Piper falls for Charlie Bell, the brother of a client. A fellow aspiring writer, Charlie’s the only person recently who’s encouraged Piper to follow her dreams. Not to mention, he’s pretty darn cute.

But when Charlie turns out to be the groom in one of her gigs—and set to marry the craziest bridezilla of them all—Piper must band together with her newfound friends and stop Charlie from making the biggest mistake of his life.

My Thoughts:

I think we have all had a time in our life where nothing we seemed to do was working right. Jobs, money, love life. When things get desperate, we tend to get creative and that is just what happens in this fun read.

The author took a neat job idea, plus a quirky English major, with a lacking love life, and combined them for a fast, lighthearted read that will keep your attention all the way through. I love when the gift of gab includes a knowledge of words and this story has plenty of new ones for you to learn, plus a sweet guy that is just perfect for Piper… not withstanding a few issues to clear up! lol

This fun read offered plenty of humor along the way. It was a delight up until the last bridezilla – then my mind was saying No, No, No… Could Piper really stop a wedding??? WOULD YOU? COULD YOU? I was a bit disappointed in the ending though. I wanted more of the happy ever after… I felt it stopped too soon. But regardless, I did enjoy this new offering from Anne Wagener. Available in ebook format. One to check out for this summers reading pleasure.
