'We went to four weddings last summer, while I waited in vain for Michael to propose. By the last one I couldn't breathe. "I always cry at weddings," I said. Yes, but do you always hyperventilate, is what he was probably thinking.'
Michael has finally asked Eve to marry him. But from her first encounter with a bridal magazine to the disconcerting realisation that when she looks at her fiance she hears the striking of a Chinese gong and the words FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE echoing through her head. Eve discovers that it's a long way to the altar - if, indeed, that's where she wants to be.
Wry, witty and deliciously caustic, this is the book for anyone who's married, about to marry - or just thought better of it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All a bit blah. I couldn't care much one way or the other. The character sketches are fairly superficial. The only part that touched me at all was between her friends Rusty and Dan, & that was a very small part of the whole.
