Everything should be falling into place for the beautiful Nantucket wedding that will unite the Carmichael and Gaham families -- but instead, things ae fall... more »ing apart. If only Jenna's mother had left directions for what to do about divorce, affairs, and other matters of the heart.
While the nearly newlyweds seem appropriately blissful, their loved ones have arrived on the island with their own lives in disarray. The bride's older sister wants to help carry out thir mother's wishes, but her divorce has left her skeptical about marriage -- and her secret relationship with a much older man has left her skeptical about love. The bride's father is reevaluating his recent remarriage. And the groom's mother has married the same man twice -- a man who left her to have a child with another woman (a woman who's also been invited). And some misbehaving bridesmaids, errant groomsmen, and the threat of rain, and the perfect weekend might instead turn into a perfect storm.
Before the guests head for home, love will be questioned, scandals will arise, hearts will be broken and healed. « less
I truly didn't want to finish this book because I had fallen in love with all of the characters but I just couldn't put it down and it was wonderful from start to finish!
I can't help but hear that U2 song in my head when I read this title... Anyway, the drama in this book was over the top, but I enjoyed all the character personalities and back stories.
