Synopsis

She barely has time to attend a wedding, let alone plan one, but Chloe has just caught the bouquet. So has her married mother … and her widowed grandmother. With three generations set to walk down the aisle, each “I do” sounds more improbable than the last.

On top of grad school, clinical hours, and part-time work, Chloe is surprised to find a ring on her finger. Sharing the news about the engagement is easy, except with her best friend. Their relationship has always been platonic … so why is Chloe so afraid he is going to object?

Kristine is successful at running her travel bookstore, but her twenty-five-year marriage is on the rocks. When her husband suggests a vow renewal ceremony, she agrees to say “I do” … until a tempting employee makes her wonder whether or not she wants to be married at all.

June knows what’s best for her and everyone around her. Given a second chance at love, she’s delighted to plan the family wedding of her dreams. But when June’s meddling goes too far, she risks losing more than the love of her life … She risks losing her family.

In Cynthia Ellingsen’s heartwarming and hilarious novel of first loves, second chances, and unexpected twists, three generations of brides-to-be discover that love is always better as a family affair.

This book is a lot of fun. Almost gave up after 80 pages but came back to it, glad I did. Light relief, entertaining. Like a good romantic comedy. Break from literary fiction, but sometimes its hard to find a decent fluffy book. This hit the mark for me.......more

Goodreads review by Selene on December 06, 2014

Maledetto il giorno che ti ho amato è un bellissimo esempio di come un chick-lit possa avere sfumature più profonde. Il tema dell'amore viene rappresentato in tre diversi modi: l'amicizia tra Chloe e Ben, l'allontanamento dopo 25 anni di matrimonio tra Kristin e Kevin, e la rinascita a settant'anni......more

Like her first novel, the dialogue is witty and believable, the characters are charming and deep and not just a stereotype, and it was a story I truly enjoyed. My fav chick lit author!......more
