Book Description:
In the space of a few hours, thirty-year-old Ginger Petrocelli had gone from bride-to-be to bride-who-never-was. So here she sat, alone in her cramped apartment, wedding crinolines askew, drowning her sorrows in a hundred-dollar bottle of Veuve Cliquot, when her doorbell rang. And her trip to hell in a handbasket was about to escalate.



At the door: Nick, Ginger's "first." Only, he's a police officer now, and he wants to find out what she knows about her M.I.A. congressman fiance. When was the last time she'd seen him? She'd better not leave town . . .



And the spiral continues: her cozy little sublet (really, she liked having her shower in the kitchen) is about to be yanked away, and the prestigious little design firm where she works is about to go belly-up. So what's a girl to do?



Her answer, born of desperation: move in with her crazy, widowed mother -- who Ginger claims sucks the life force out of every creature within one city block of her -- and her grandmother, who spends much of her day engaged in heated arguments with her dead husband.



Well, it's a plan. But bizarrely, as the summer progresses, her eccentric but lovable relatives give her the courage to make choices based on what she wants, not what she wants to avoid.

Excellent and fast paced. A bride is left standing at the altar. Her first love, now a police officer, comes to her door to ask what she knows about her fiance's disappearance. She loses her home, moves in with her mother, and finds the courage and strength to do what she wants to do, not what others think she should do.

Wonderful book - when I started it I wasn't sure it was for me, but as I continued reading, it sucked me in and I couldn't put it down. A little different than traditional chicklit - I loved the addition of her crazy family and her love interests were definitely interesting. Add in the craziness that happens and the conclusion and this is a great book. Wonderful characters and plot!

This was a good one. Not your usual blah blah blah chick lit.

My first Red Dress Ink and first Karen Templeton. I'll look for more of both. I enjoyed the writing style, the many characters and the cohesiveness of the story despite many situations.
