After 3 years together, Lottie Graveney is expecting her boyfriend Richard to propose; she is sure her intuition is spot-on, they do after all share a special connection. And she makes a fool of herself in public, when he does not. Lottie has the unfortunate habit of overreacting when faced with a sentimental catastrophe; she always makes spontaneous, outrageous changes in her life. While making a motivational speech to students, she recalls with fondness the trip to Greece when she was eighteen, the year she spent with her first real boyfriend, Ben.

On the edge of dramatic despair, Lottie gets a phone call out of the blue from long-lost Ben, who had also been thinking about that year, 15 years ago. They meet, and it feels like the Greek island was only yesterday. They pick up almost where they left off,, and Lottie's mood improves tremendously. She's on cloud nine, and she's getting carried away like never before.

Lottie's older sister, Fliss, is desperately hoping her divorce will be finalized, her ex-husband is being a pest. She doesn't really have time for Lottie's histrionics, but she thinks her sister is about to make a huge mistake. She inadvertently meets a friend of Ben's, Lorcan, who also thinks something should be done about Ben and Lottie. They agree upon what would be the best outcome to the imminent debacle. However their meeting does not go exactly as expected.

WEDDING NIGHT is the latest from Ms. Kinsella and saying it doesn't disappoint would be the understatement of the year! The story is told from both Lottie's and Fliss's points of view, which works very well. WEDDING NIGHT starts off somewhat normally, and then explodes into madness and chaos! It had been a long time since I laughed so much; WEDDING NIGHT just might be Sophie Kinsella's funniest book yet. It's wildly entertaining, almost surreal at times. The characters are over-the-top and perfect for this story. WEDDING NIGHT has many layers: it's about growing up, letting go, and living in the present. It's hilarious, compelling, touching, and just lovely!

SUMMARY

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella 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.

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.
