Fresh out of college, Piper Marie Brody isn't pursuing a
career as thought
by her parents....or Piper. Wrong about her choice of
college major and
choice of her past boyfriend, Piper wonders how she could
have gone so
far astray. Sharing an apartment with Lin, a gay guy, she
now finds
herself selling books at the airport for Book Nook. How
can that be?
Stuck with a suckie job and boss, Piper barely keeps her
bills paid and
Wulfie, her faithful car, going. But how to make more
money when what
she wants to do is write. Posting a listing on
craigslist.org for services
might not be her smartest move yet. Offering up as a
hired bridesmaid
brings several results for her first job. How hard can
this be?
Susan Bell
is nice but meeting her brother Charlie is even nicer. A
definite
connection is made and that first kiss is totally awesome!
Keeping in
contact has her heart soaring until Charlie turns cold on
her. A couple
more jobs through craigslist.org and she knows why. All
of a sudden
she's a bridesmaid for Charlie's wedding and nothing seems
right or
happy for Charlie or his intended. Especially when his
sister Susan hires
her to investigate his reasons for marrying Holly, the
gorgeous socialite.
There's no one who wouldn't enjoy this gutsy, quirky read.
Piper is that
colorful, out-of-the-peg character, full of life,
originality and drive. She's
sprints from one little adventure into another, striving
to put her life to
order and changing everyone else's around her. This is
such a delightful
read filled with gutsy anecdotes and out-of-the-box
solutions. Definitely
an entertaining and amusing tale by this talented author
from page one to
the end. It took a very original minded author to come up
with BORROW-A_BRIDESMAID,
and I loved it. Anne Wagener has talent to spare!
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.
