This book was funny with a tad bit of crazy mixed in (ok maybe a bit more than a tad.)Colleen is annoying starting out. She is being taken to Vegas for her birthday by her group of childhood friends, 2 couples and 1 male BFF, Brad. Right from the start from her inner musing you can tell he likes her and she likes him, but in her grand attempt to leave behind her blue collar up bringing she has pushed everything aside for her career. Colleen wanted to get as far removed from South Boston as possible.She is about to turn 35 though and things have not went as she planned. Single, no prospects and a biological clock ticking louder every second, she is feeling down and even more so after getting an earful from some little old lady at the Black Jack table. During a breakdown Brad asks her to get married, so she can be married before 35, saying they can just have it annulled the next day. They get married, things don't go as planned and so the fun begins.As the book goes on you start to understand Colleen more and personally got to like Brad more but could see why she has not caught on to his feeling in all this time. I laughed through out this book because this brand of crazy was very relate-able to myself and some people I know (I won't name names).There are a few spelling/grammar errors through out the book that can throw you off from time to time but otherwise I loved it.
