When Maggie Watson turns out to be a bit of a bridezilla, it's most surprising to her bridesmaids--who happen to be her three tall, blonde daughters. In spite of their stereotypically Californian good looks, the three women are chagrined to realize how much better their mother's love life is than theirs.
Protective big sister Rachel is divorced and juggling life as a single mom, but still not over her cheating ex-husband. Beautiful Sienna is engaged for the third time--to a man she doesn't love, but she can't figure out how to get out of it. And clumsy Courtney isn't looking for love; she just wants to finish her college degree to prove to her family that she isn't the dumb little sister.
As the wedding plans progress, Maggie, Rachel, Sienna and Courtney will have some surprising revelations. Can they overcome their differences so Maggie can have the elaborate, over-the-top wedding she wants? Or will their secrets, the pink champagne and the swans in the swimming pool tear them apart?
With lots of humor, Susan Mallery (Three Sisters, The Girls of Mischief Bay) accurately portrays the complicated relationships that even the best of sisters often have. Navigating their own love lives, plus trying to placate each other, keeps Rachel, Sienna and Courtney busy, and is sure to keep the reader chuckling.
A perfect summer read, Daughters of the Bride is bound to make romance readers and anyone who's ever been a bridesmaid happy. --Jessica Howard, blogger at Quirky Bookworm
