Dress Rehearsal

By Jennifer O'Connell

    Lauren Gallagher is a wedding cake designer with an observation. She can tell by the choice of a cake which couples are going to make it and which are destined for divorce court. She keeps her opinions to herself until Paige, one of her best friends, comes into the shop with a man who is going to break her heart... according to cake-selection theory, anyway.

    Lauren has been down this road with her other best friend, Robin. Several years ago Robin and her fiancé ordered a cake. It foretold the demise of their marriage. Lauren kept her mouth shut and now Robin is dealing with a broken heart. Robin insists that Lauren warn Paige and encourage her to break off the relationship.

    Meanwhile, Lauren has two men she's interested in. Charlie is the brother of one of her clients. Neil, her ex-boyfriend, just moved back into town. There is, however, one little problem with Neil. He waltzes into the shop with his fiancé and asks Lauren to design their wedding cake. Lauren agrees, but she has an ulterior motive. She made the mistake of letting him get away once, and now she wants him back. Maybe... unless she decides to go with Charlie instead!

     In addition to being fun, this book is filled with tantalizing descriptions of wedding cakes. The women in this story are strong and independent. This book is a very good example of Chick Lit.
