Twice Upon a Wedding
Stone introduced Elaine, Lily, Sarah, and Jo, four middle-age women who started a -wedding-planning business called Second Time Around, inOnce upon a Bride(2005). In this sequel, their office assistant, Andrew, is actually a magazine columnist, working undercover as a gay man, who is lusting after Jo. Elaine is trying to figure out what she wants to do, now that she is not getting married after all. Together they are trying to plan a second wedding for Andrew's editor that will launch their business. Andrew's daughter, who is pretending to be his orphaned niece, is portrayed as a great kid just a little too wise for her years. This is a pleasant enough, if not a distinct or memorable, work of women's fiction most valuable to collections that already have the first installment.Diana Tixier HeraldCopyright © American Library Association.
