When Sasha meets Elliot a month before her wedding to Pete, the news he brings seems incredible.

But Sasha’s wedding plans are underway, and though she’s curious, Elliot turns out to be feckless, rebellious, and engaged to a glamorous and pregnant Belle.

hilariously funny
I really did enjoy this book . I was a bit dubious to start with as it hadn't been rated yet.
I was pleasantly surprised. A really easy going book to listen to, but with suspence and a twist.
Imogen Church is an excellent narrator, that brings the story and the characters to life.
I loved both Brooke and Abbeys characters and their interaction with each other is laugh out loud funny.
I really hope that comedy fiction is going to be Karen Clarke's genre, as I certainly will be looking out for her again. I hope she has another book out soon.
