Book Description:

One wedding. No funeral.
One unqualified catastrophe.

"Dominic" was the little white lie thirty-and-still-unwed Sophy Metcalfe told to soothe her nagging mother. But now her perfect sister Belinda is tying the knot, and Sophy's going to have to produce the charming, successful, ideal boyfriend she invented -- since the genuine article vanished after a single, resoundingly unsuccessful evening. Desperate, she hires a male escort sight unseen to get her through the Nuptials from Hell. But the trouble with white lies is they tend to multiply -- especially at a gala disaster filled with new intrigues and old flames. And the trouble with Josh, her hired date, is he's kind of cute, in a rugged, too-sexy-for-his-own-good way. And then there's the biggest trouble of all -- because every wedding day is followed by a night. And, of course, a morning after ...

The movie "The Wedding Date" was based on this novel, originally called "Asking for Trouble." I found this wonderfully funny, insightful and romantic

This book is a charming, light weight tale about a young woman who is overly sensitive about her looks and weight, and very imaginative. She makes up a boyfriend because her Mom is always worried that she won't get married. But then her sister's wedding comes along and she has to produce the boyfriend. Oops.

The book was originally titled "Asking for Trouble." The title was changed when it became the basis for the movie "The Wedding Date."

It is significantly different from the movie, especially as all characters are British. Sometimes the British slang is a bit hard to translate, but not too often.

Likeable story, very different to the book. Love Sophie - a character every younger sister could relatet too.

Self-deprecating heroine and wickedly charming hero.

If you can get past the concept of falling in love with a hired escort...it's cute.
