This is a Trade Size paperback, very, very funny and sometimes too close to home! A great read:
Meet Delilah Winchester
Bestselling romance novelist, lady-who-lunches, Hollywood insider. She of the Botoxed forehead, MAC-painted lips, and direct line to Oprah. My mother. There was a time when the pedigrees of neither my fiancé nor my engagement ring would have mattered to her, as long as I was happy. That was then. Now shes a celebrity, and my wedding is the ultimate publicity stunt. Shes got it all mapped out, from soup to nuts. Oh, and speaking of nuts
Meet Carmela Cantano
The Queen of Queens. She cooks; she cleans; she dotes on Anthony, The Worlds Most Wonderful Son. My future mother-in-law has her own ideas about the proper matrimonial sendoff for her precious baby boy: There will be church, cannoli, and Cousin Jimmy V. singing "Fly Me to the Moon." What there wont be is Delilahs vision of WASPy nuptial perfection
Meet Me
Emilie, hapless bride-to-be caught between Momzillas with opposing views and sharpened claws. On one side: Carmela, guilt, and tradition; on the other, Delilah and the three Ws (Wang, Weitzman and Weinstock). When, exactly, did my big day become theirs, and how do I get it back? Damned if I know. But somethings gotta give - and soon - or the wedding of the year will be short one bride
