When I read the first page and saw that the main character was yet another blond in her 40’s who ,looked like she was in her 20’s, my eyes rolled out of my head, but with a deep sigh, I plowed on. Faith is a wedding planner, the most sought after wedding planner in NewYork City, so not only does she look 20 years younger, but she also is independently wealthy as a result. What she doesn’t have is a man in her life and she is convinced that she doesn’t need one. Faith has her hands full dealing with her wealthy clients who include an emotionally abusive doctor and his meek fiancé, an Uber rich philandering father determined to put on the splashiest wedding of the century, and her own mother, whose previous three marriages have been abject failure. Add in to the mix, a wonderful gay couple getting married where one of the grooms has a handsome older brother ( spoiler….that’s her man) and Faith’s fraternal twin sister who is a model turned blissfully happy wife and mother and the story is complete.
In true Danielle Steel fashion, there is repetition, but not as much as in previous books. While everything is predictable, it’s a fun journey and definitely a good afternoon read.
