About this listen

“A heartfelt, delicious story.”—Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Magnolia Palace

From the author of Husbands and Other Sharp Objects comes a witty, bighearted novel about the happy accidents that lead to love and second chances.

Forty-one years old, the last of her friends to marry, and down to a size 12, Lauren Leo is in her gown and about to tie the knot. There’s just one thing missing: the groom. With one blindsiding text, Lauren is unceremoniously dumped at the altar.

In the aftermath, her mother is an endless well of unsolicited advice (Stay on your diet and freeze your eggs). Her sisters only add to the Great Humiliation: one is planted on Lauren’s couch while the other is too perfect.

Picking her heart up off the floor, Lauren turns to her work in advertising as she gathers courage to move on and plan her next step. She should know by now that nothing in life goes according to plan. What lies ahead is the road to self-acceptance and at long last feeling worthy. With a new way to measure love and success, Lauren chucks her scale—and finds a second chance in the most unexpected place.

Hilarious and heart rending.

I really enjoyed this book for many reasons. The lifestyles and relationships of the characters, opening my mind to alternative ways of living.
Considering the restraints that are placed on different choices as well as the impact verbal abuse has on a person.
This brought issues of my own to mind, but at the same time offered suggestions, through the dialogue, on how to move forward.
Lots to consider but at the same time a story I would like to see continued. Hope there's a second one.
