Marigold is getting married- if she can fly to Canada and get a quick divorce without anyone knowing.
Olivia is her corporate lawyer sister, who is crushing on a guy there (the wrong one). She is keeping it as secret from Marigold that their mom Lulu has stopped her cancer treatment and won’t be around much longer.
Natalie is the maid of honor, who has loved the groom Jonathan for 10 years in secret.

There is a lot to love about this book- I genuinely liked reading it and laughed out loud at several lines. The banter is elite and I did love the setting. The premise reminded me a lot of The wedding People as it was a very high luxury wedding at a resort and several characters.

What I didn’t like was the utter selfishness of all the characters- which I completely get was the point- but at the end it got a little harder to root for them. Except Lulu, who was a delight. This book could have used a precocious child or a dog.

That said, I very much enjoyed the pacing and consistency. I will go back and read more by this new-to-me author.

3.75/5
