Publisher Description
‘Whip-smart, pacy, and truly hilarious. The Bridget Jones’ Diary for our times, you’ll probably read it in one sitting because that’s how good it is’ Stylist
I’m getting married. He’s perfect! It’s a disaster.
Note to self:
Do not tell future-mother-in-law that you got into Harvard Law School by sleeping with the Dean of Admissions.
Do not sing Beyoncé-style while representing client in major court deposition (actually, that one kinda works).
Do not buy into the social construct of fidelity. But hey, for an easy life, do not let Will find out about all the other men (esp. my boss/his boss/his best friend).
Meet Lily Wilder: New Yorker, lawyer extraordinaire, blushing bride. And totally incapable of being faithful to one man. As the big day dawns, one thing's for certain, Lily's in for a hell of a surprise...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kennedy's debut novel sparkles with candor and wit as one woman counts down the week before her wedding. Lily Wilder is working at a Manhattan law firm and planning her Key West wedding and a deposition there. Her fiance, Will, is an archaeologist, whom she truly loves. There's just one problem Lily believes that she is incapable of being faithful. She has repeatedly cheated on him during the time they have been together and continues to cheat while in the Keys in the days leading up to her wedding. She sees the relationships of her father with his ex-wives as foretelling her own issues with fidelity. Yet Lily doesn't regret anything about her past behavior until her future mother-in-law threatens to reveal skeletons from Lily's closet that could possibly destroy her relationship with Will and end her law career. Kennedy's ribald story is both engaging and atypical, the perfect combination for a new voice in women's fiction.
