Meghann Dontess is haunted by heartbreak. Twenty-seven years ago she was forced to make a terrible choice, one that cost her everything, including the love of her sister, Claire. Now, Meghann is a hotshot divorce attorney who doesn't believe in intimacy - until she meets the one man who can change her mind.

Claire Cavenaugh has fallen in love for the first time in her life. As her wedding day approaches, she prepared to face her harsh, judgemental older sister. It is the first time they have been together in more than two decades. Over the course of a hot Pacific Northwest summer, these two women who believe they have nothing in common will try to become what they never were: a family.

Plenty of books can help you plan wedding. And there are always plenty of friends to argue the finer points of engagement rings, prenuptial diets, French bustles and tiara vs. headpiece. But once the band stops playing and the guests go home, you are on your own.

Jenny Lee found this out the hard way. One minute she was a swinging single whose life revolved around nights on the town and Jimmy Choo shoes. The next thing she knew, she met "the One" and go... married! And there was no one around to explain how to "Love, Honor, and Cherish" a man who spends more time the bathroom than she does and thinks pistachio shells make nice coffee table decor.

This book is definitely an adults only read. The topics are heavy and she is very blunt in describing her thoughts and views. Not bad, but a bit extreme for my taste.

One of the best books I've read. Jodi Picoult is amazing. Just as a note... There are folds in two of the page corners. I know, I know, I shouldn't mark my pages that way.
