Synopsis

Mamma Mia meets Bridesmaids in a laugh-out-loud, life affirming comedy ‘A warm-hearted, wise and wickedly funny slice of family life’ ‘An absolute winner’ ‘No-one depicts family life with more humour and wisdom than Tracy Bloom’ ‘You will absolutely love Tracy Bloom… Heartfelt and wonderful’ ––––––––––––––––––– One weekend, one bride-to-be, what could possibly go wrong… All Shelley wanted on her hen weekend was to enjoy three days of sun, sea and sangria. But instead of being surrounded by the A-team of her closest friends, she somehow ends up with a Golden Girls-meets-the-Spice Girls B-list that includes her mother, a rebellious teenager, and a best mate ‘on the verge’. The squabbling starts at the airport, and on arrival in Spain, Shelley barely has time to unpack her suitcase before getting an unwanted text ̶ one that throws her wedding into doubt. Shelley has got a BIG decision to make, but her unruly medley of nearest and dearest seem determined to confuse matters with their own problems. Have they got what it takes to get her through the most important weekend of her life? –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Tracy Bloom has written some really FUNNY books and this one is the perfect addition to her repertoire! Admittedly, I did find some aspects of this book confusing (like how OLD Shelly was when she finally married) but I laughed out loud a lot and got completely lost in the pages. If you’re into chic......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on July 15, 2022

The majority of this story is set twenty years prior when Shelley, her best friend and certain members of her family go to Spain for her hen do. Being tall like Shelley, I related to to her straight away. It actually had me laughing as it reminded me how on nights out, I was the same as Shelley wher......more
