This one was boring on one hand, and interesting on the other hand. I am very conflicted. I was bored at time, but I also really wanted to know what would happen.

I also got really annoyed when Pheobe said that women read romance novels to get an orgasm. Ok FU Pheobe, that was uncalled for. Does the author think the same? That all romance novels are pRon?

Anyway, Phoebe was left by her husband and goes to a Hotel to kill herself. It seems there was a mistake and she shouldn't have gotten a room cos a wedding party has booked everything. Long story short, the bride shows up, Phoebe tells the truth. The bride says no! This is her wedding and Phoebe can not kill herself. Little by little Phoebe gets involved in the wedding and sees that everything is not as it should be.

So obviously I wanted to know if Phoebe would kill herself. Then I wanted to see what happened to the wedding. There was always something new to get invested in.

A good book, also a boring book in the beginning. But still a book where you want to know if she can be happy again.

It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, without luggage, alone. Everyone in the lobby mistakes her for one of the wedding people at an impending wedding on the site, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t there for the big event.

Phoebe is there because she’s dreamed of coming for years. She hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend might yield except for, well, Phoebe and Phoebe's plan—which makes it that much more surprising when the two women can’t stop confiding in each other.
