We’ll be reading
Always a Bridesmaid
by Jones Hope Wooten
Four friends have sworn to keep the promise they made on the night of their Senior Prom: to be in each other’s weddings, no matter what. More than 30 years later, these Southern friends-for-life are still making “the long walk” for each other, determined to honour that vow.
Libby Ruth, the hopeful romantic with the perfect marriage, belives – in spite of all evidence to the contrary – that her friends can find the very same happiness.
Headstrong Deedra’s “rock solid” union hangs by a thread when she discovers her husband of many years not only has a wandering eye, but the hands to match.
Monette, flashy, high-spirited, and self-involved, continues to test her friends’ love and patience with all-too-frequent trips down the aisle.
And salt-of-the-earth, tree-hugging Charlie discovers – the hard way – that marital bliss is not the end of her rainbow, and panics in outrageous style when the opportunity presents itself.
Hop on this marriage-go-round for a laugh-out-loud journey with these beleaguered bridesmaids as they navigate the choppy waters of love and matrimony!
