author: Segre, Francesca
description: Funny, poignant, and utterly engaging, this dazzling debut tells the story of a young woman whose mother is getting hitched while her own ring finger is still decidedly bare...
  
  When her mom calls to say she's getting married, Daniella is both thrilled and devastated. Mom, who's pushing sixty, is about to walk down the aisle for the second time, while Daniella, at twenty-nine, hasn't come close to saying "I do" even once. Worse yet, Mom insists Daniella help plan the big bash: white gown, band, caterer, the works. Between cake tastings, dress fittings, and ring shopping, Daniella struggles to make sense of her own frustrating love life--all while juggling her high-pressure TV job and hectic dating adventures. It isn't long before she realizes she's going to have to make some changes in her own life--or she'll never be a bride herself...
